A 0.2-kg particle P is constrained to move along the vertical-plane circular slot of radius r = 0.5 m and is confined to the slot of arm OA, which rotates about a horizontal axis through O with a constant angular rate Ω = 3 rad /s. For the instant when β = 20°, determine the force N exerted on the particle by the circular constraint and the force R exerted on it by the slotted arm.
