if b is the fulcrum then Va = Vb + Wab*rb/a
But this taking into account only the velocity mentioned in the question.
I'm not sure what effect the acceleration will have on the velocity of point A.
What equation do I need to use to take the acceleration into account as well?

It says "at this instant", so...
 
Are you saying that it has no effect?
 
Isn't there a relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity?
