we have  F^→ =ma^→ ⇔a^→ =−(F/m)u^→  ...(i)  and  OP^(→) =2Rcos(φ)u^→       so v^→ (P)=((dOP^(→) )/dt)=2R[−φ^. sin(φ)u^→ +φ^. cos(φ)k^→ ]=2Rφ^. (−sinφu^→ +cosφk^→ )  and   a^→ (P)=(dv^→ /dt)=2R[φ^(..) (−sinφu^→ +cosφk^→ )+φ^. (−φ^. cosφu^→ −φ^. sinφk^→ −φ^. sinφk^→ −φ^. cosφu^→ )]  so : a^→ =2R[(−φ^(..) sinφ−2φ^. ^2 cosφ)u^→ +(φ^(..) cosφ−2φ^. ^2 sinφ)k^→ ] ...(ii)  we have (i)=(ii)  so   2R(−φ^(..) sinφ−2φ^. ^2 cosφ)=((−F)/m)  and  φ^(..) cosφ−2φ^. ^2 sinφ=0  so   φ^(..) cosφ=2φ^. ^2 sinφ ⇔φ^(..) =2φ^. ^2 tan(φ) ...(3i)  φ^(..) sinφ+2φ^. ^2 cosφ=(F/(2Rm)) ...(4i)  (3i)→(4i)⇒ 2φ^. ^2 tan(φ)sin(φ)+2φ^. ^2 cosφ=(F/(2Rm))  2φ^. ^2 cosφ(((tan(φ)sinφ)/(cosφ))+1)=(F/(2Rm))  2φ^. ^2 cosφ(tan^2 φ+1)=(F/(2Rm))  ((dφ/dt))^2 =φ^. ^2 =(F/(4Rm))cosφ  and φ^(..) =2φ^. ^2 tanφ=2((F/(4Rm))cosφ)tanφ  so :  (d^2 φ/dt^2 )=φ^(..) =(F/(2Rm))sinφ

Alternate solution:  let the ∠ at C be θ.        θ=2φ  ⇒  ω=(dθ/dt)=2(dφ/dt)  ..(i)      ((dφ/dt))^2 =(ω^2 /4)    ...(a)  α=(dω/dt) =2(d^2 φ/dt^2 )   ⇒   (d^2 φ/dt^2 )=(α/2)    ...(b)  (b)÷(a) will give  ((d^2 φ/dt^2 )/((dφ/dt)^2 )) =((α/2)/(ω^2 /4)) =((2α)/ω^2 )                     =((2m(αr))/(m(ω^2 r))) =((2ma_T )/(ma_r ))       =((2Fsin φ)/(Fcos φ)) = 2tan 𝛗 .
