Question:

End A of the 6-kg uniform rod AB rests on the inclined surface, while end B is attached to a collar of negligible mass which can slide along the vertical rod shown. When the rod is at rest a vertical force P is applied at B, causing end B of the rod to start moving upward with an acceleration of 4 m/s2. Knowing that θ = 35?, determine the force P.
