A particle moves on a spiral path. The polar coordinates ( r ,phi) as a function

Question

A particle moves on a spiral path. The polar coordinates (r,phi) as a function of time t are
r = b + b (phi)/(2(pi))    and     phi = wt.
(A) Calculate the acceleration vector at the point C. Give the Cartesian components ax and ay.
(B) Draw by hand a reasonably accurate graph of the spiral trajectory, and draw on the graph the acceleration vectory at C (with reasonable accuracy). [Use graph paper! And remember, you are being graded on the clarity of your answers.]
