$A$ horizontal plane supports a stationary vertical cylinder of radius $R = 1 \ m$ and a disc $A$ attached to the cylinder by a horizontal thread $AB$ of length $l_0 = 2 \ m$ (seen in figure,top view). An initial velocity $v_0 = 1 \ m/s$ is imparted to the disc as shown in the figure. How many seconds will it move along the plane until it strikes against the cylinder? (All surfaces are assumed to be smooth.)

$A$ particle moves from the point $(2.0\hat i + 4.0\hat j) \, m$ at $t = 0$ with an initial velocity $(5.0\hat i + 4.0\hat j) \, m/s$. It is acted upon by a constant force which produces a constant acceleration $(4.0\hat i + 4.0\hat j) \, m/s^2$. What is the distance of the particle from the origin at time $t = 2 \, s$?
