The sliders A and B are connected by a light rigid bar of length l = 0.5 m and move with negligible friction in the slots, both of which lie in a horizontal plane. For the position where x_A = 0.4 m, the velocity of A is v_A = 0.9 m/s to the right. Determine the acceleration of each slider and the force in the bar at this instant.
