Solve Problem if the arm has an angular acceleration of  at this instant. Assume the particle contacts only one side of the slot at any instant.

Problem

The particle has a mass of 0.5 kg and is confined to move along the smooth horizontal slot due to the rotation of the arm OA. Determine the force of the rod on the particle and the normal force of the slot on the particle when θ = 30°. The rod is rotating with a constant angular velocity  Assume the particle contacts only one side of the slot at any instant.
