In a continuous printing process, paper roll is wrapped on a cylindrical core which is free to rotate about a fixed horizontal axis. The paper is drawn into the process at a constant speed v, as shown in the figure. If r is the radius of paper on the roll at any given time and b is the thickness of the paper, then the angular acceleration of the roll at this instant is
