Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
Gear \( A \) has an initial angular velocity of 60 rad/sec and a constant angular deceleration of 1.2 rad/sec\(^2\). When \( t = 3 \) sec, calculate the magnitude of deceleration of the block hoisted by the hub on gear \( B \). Present your answer in ft/sec\(^2\) using 3 significant figures.
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram shows two gears, \( A \) and \( B \). Gear \( A \) has a radius of 1 ft. It is meshed with gear \( B \), which has a larger radius of 2 ft. There is a rope wound around a smaller hub with a radius of 0.5 ft on gear \( B \), which lifts a block as gear \( B \) rotates. The illustration depicts gear \( A \) rotating clockwise, which in turn affects the motion of gear \( B \).
### Solution Steps
1. **Determine the angular velocity of Gear B:**
- Gear ratio between gears \( A \) and \( B \): \( \frac{r_A}{r_B} = \frac{1}{2} \).
- Angular velocity of gear \( B \) is half of that of gear \( A \).
2. **Calculate the linear velocity of the block:**
- Using the radius of the hub on gear \( B \).
3. **Calculate the angular deceleration of Gear B:**
- Reduce by the same gear ratio.
4. **Calculate the deceleration of the block:**
- Using the linear relationship with the hub radius.
This process will yield the deceleration in ft/sec\(^2\) rounded to three significant figures, as required.
