First time posting.
Gears A and B, of Masses 4kg and 10kg, respectively, are rotating about their mass centers. The radius of gyration about the axis of rotation is 100mm for A and 300mm for B. A constant couple of C=0.75Nm acts on gear A. Neglecting friction, compute:
- Angular Acceleration of each gear
- Tangential contact force between the gears at CMay want to look at attachment for image.
Started with the smaller gear.
Using T=I[itex]\alpha[/itex] , where I=mr^2
Rearrange the equation to get [itex]\alpha[/itex] = 0.75 / (4*0.1^2) = 18.75 rad/s^2
Not to sure how to draw a relationship with the 2nd larger gear. Maybe using w1/w2 = r2/r1 then [itex]\alpha[/itex] = w^2 * r
Thanks,
