Calculation:
Consider the acceleration due to gravity (g) as 32.2 ft/s2.
Convert the unit of the radius of the cylinder A (rA):
rA=4 in.×1 ft12 in.=13 ft

mB=2032.2 lb⋅s2/ft
Calculate the mass moment of inertia of the cylinder A (ˉIA):
ˉIA=12mAr2A
Substitute 532.2 lb⋅s2/ft for mA and 13 ft for rA.
ˉIA=12×532.2×(13)2=8.6266×10−3 lb⋅s2⋅ft
Calculate the mass moment of inertia of the cylinder B (ˉIB):
ˉIB=12mBr2B
Substitute 2032.2 lb⋅s2/ft for mB and 23 ft for rB.
ˉIB=12×2032.2×(23)2=138.0262×10−3 lb⋅s2⋅ft

Sum of horizontal forces is equal to 0.
∑Fx=02.00−FA−FB=0FA+FB=2.00 (3)
Calculate the angular acceleration of the cylinder A (αA):
Substitute 25.8798×10−3αA for FA and 103.51965×10−3αA for FB in Equation (3)
25.8798×10−3αA+103.51965×10−3αA=2.00129.4125×10−3αA=2.00αA=2.00129.4125×10−3αA=15.46 rad/s2
Calculate the horizontal force of the cylinder A (FA):
Substitute 15.46 rad/s2 for αA in Equation (1).
FA=25.8798×10−3×15.46=0.4 lb
Calculate the horizontal force of the cylinder B (FB):
Substitute 15.46 rad/s2 for αA in Equation (2).
FB=103.51965×10−3×15.46=1.6 lb
Calculate the magnitude of the friction force (Fm):
Fm=μsWA
Substitute 5 lb for WA and 0.50 for μs.
Fm=0.50×5=2.5 lb
The horizontal forces of the cylinder A and B are greater than the magnitude of the friction force (FA and FB<Fm).
Therefore, there is no slipping occurs between cylinders and belt.

Answer to Problem 16.40P
The angular acceleration of each cylinder (αA and αB) are 15.46 rad/s2_ and 7.73 rad/s2_.
Explanation of Solution
The force pulled between cylinders A and B (P) is 3.6 lb.
The weight of the cylinder A (WA) is 5 lb.
The weight of the cylinder B (WB) is 20 lb.
The coefficient of the static friction (μs) is 0.50.
The coefficient of the kinetic friction (μk) is 0.40.
The radius of the cylinder A (rA) is 4 in..
The radius of the cylinder B (rB) is 8 in..
Calculation:
Refer the part (a).
Consider the no slipping occur at cylinder B.
Therefore, the angular acceleration of the cylinder B is αB=12αA
Calculate the angular acceleration of the cylinder A (αA):
Substitute 1.6 lb for FB in Equation (2).
1.6=103.51965×10−3αAαA=1.6103.51965×10−3αA=15.46 rad/s2
Calculate the angular acceleration of the cylinder B (αB):
αB=12αA
Substitute 15.46 rad/s2 for αA.
αB=12×15.46=7.73 rad/s2
Hence, the angular acceleration of each cylinder (αA and αB) are 15.46 rad/s2_ and 7.73 rad/s2_.
