At time \(t\) seconds the angular speed of the larger disc is \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } t \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) (see diagram). There is no slipping at the point of contact. For the instant when \(t = 2\), find
  1. the angular speed of the smaller disc,
  2. the magnitude of the acceleration of a point \(P\) on the circumference of the larger disc, and the angle between the direction of this acceleration and \(P A\).
