A 200 -pound crate is connected to a rotating telescopic pole. Initially, the crate moves in a horizontal circle at a speed of 30 ft/s with a radius of 18 ft. If the pole retracts at a rate of 2 ft/s, find the speed of the crate when the pole has a radius of 12 ft. Also, calculate the work done by the axial force F along the pole. Neglect the dimensions of the crate and the mass of the pole.
