Question:

The 9-m steel beam is being hoisted from its horizontal position by the two cables attached at A and B. If the initial angular accelerations of the hoisting drums are a1 = 0.5 rad/s2 and a2 = 0.2 rad/s2 in the directions shown, determine the corresponding angular acceleration a of the beam, the acceleration of C, and the distance b from B to a point P on the beam centerline which has no acceleration.
