Curvilinear Motion of a crate carried by a crane#

A crane moves a crate through point A with a speed of \({{ params.v_0 }}\ \rm{m/s}\) and increases the speed constantly at a rate of \({{ params_a }}\ \rm{m/s^{2}}\).
Find the magnitude of the crate’s acceleration when the arc length is \({{ params_s }}\ \rm{m}\) and when \(x_0 =0 \ \rm{m}\).
The equation of the arc is \(y= m - \frac{x^{2}}{w}\)
\(w = {{ params_w }}\ \rm{m}\), \(m = {{ params_m }}\ \rm{m}\)
