Determine the vertical acceleration of the cylinder with a weight \( W_{A}=36 \mathrm{lb} \) for each of the two cases. Neglect friction and the mass of the pulleys. The acceleration is positive if up, negative if down. Assume \( W_{B}=23 \mathrm{lb} \), Answers: (a) \( a= \) \( \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec}^{2} \) (b) \( a= \) ft/sec 2
