The Attempt at a Solution
Since the wheel is rolling , vcm=ωr , acm = αr
The wheel is in pure rotation about the point O where it touches the surface .
The point P is a distance 4/3 from the bottom point .
Angular acceleration of the point = 3 rad/s2
vP = 4m/s
Radial acceleration of the point P about bottom point O = vP2/(4/3) = 12 m/s2 .
Are the two components of acceleration correct ?
