Transcribed Image Text:**Gear/Pulley Mechanism Analysis**
In this diagram, a gear/pulley mechanism is displayed in a top view configuration. The system includes several components with specified dimensions and movements:
1. **Initial Gear Drive**: The gear located on the lower left is driven at a speed of 5 degrees per second (deg/s). The radius of this gear is 50 mm.
2. **Gear System**:
- The first gear, with a 50 mm radius, engages with a larger gear of 100 mm radius.
- This 100 mm radius gear is connected via a belt to a significantly larger gear with a radius of 200 mm. The belt extends 300 mm on both sides from the center.
3. **Pulley and Rod System**:
- Attached to this 200 mm gear is a pulley of 75 mm radius.
- A rod, connected to a 150 mm pulley, extends 280 mm to a defined tip.
- The pulley itself is 150 mm in diameter and connected via belt loops each measuring 300 mm.
**Tasks**:
(a) Determine the rotational rate of the rod in degrees per second (deg/s).
(b) Analyze and state the direction of the rod's rotation: clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW).
(c) Calculate the speed of the rod's tip in millimeters per second (mm/s).
The system utilizes mechanical advantage through gear ratios and belt drives to achieve motion transfer and speed modulation across the connected elements.
