At the instant shown, the center O of a spool with inner and outer radii r = 3 ft and R = 7 ft, respectively, is moving down the incline at a speed υO = 12.2 ft/s. If the spool does not slip relative to the rope and if the rope is fixed at one end, determine the velocity of point C (the point on the spool that is in contact with the incline) as well as the rope’s unwinding rate, that is, the length of rope being unwound per unit time.
