I have been having trouble with the following question on my homework:
wheel A of radius rA = 15 cm is coupled by belt B to wheel C of radius rC = 22 cm. The angular speed of wheel A is increased from rest at a constant rate of 1.6 rad/s2. Find the time needed for wheel C to reach an angular speed of 140 rev/min, assuming the belt does not slip.
HINT: The constant angular-acceleration equations apply. The linear speeds at the rims are equal. What then is the relation between the angular speeds and the angular accelerations?
please help, thank you for your time.
