Similar considerations enable us to determine the relative motions of all parts of
other systems of pulleys and cords as long as all the free parts of the cords are
parallel . Of course , if a pulley be fixed , the motion of a point of one end of the
cord ...

Let a point describe a circle , ABD , radius R , with uniform velocity V. Then , to
determine the direction of acceleration , we must draw , as below , from a fixed
point 0 , lines OP , OQ , etc. , a D V or representing the velocity at A ,
KINEMATICS .
