(a)
The common angular acceleration of the gears
Answer to Problem 15.200P
The common angular acceleration of the gears
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The angular velocity of the gear
Draw the schematic diagram of the given system.
Figure-(1)
Write the expression for the velocity of point 1.
Here, the angular velocity of the gear
Write the expression for the velocity of point 1 when gear
Here, the angular velocity of the shaft unit carries gear
Write the expression for the velocity of point 2.
Here, the angular velocity of the gear
Write the expression for the velocity of point 2 when gear
Write the expression for the angular velocity of the inclined shaft unit which carries gear
Here, the angular velocity of the shaft in x- direction is
