Explanation / Answer

Part A)

This part of the problem can be solved using the conservation of angular momentum

Li = Lf

gears A y B

IA WA = IB WB

The moment of inertia of a cylinder with an axis passing through the center is

I = ½ M R2

WB = WA IA/IB

WB= WA½ M RA2/ ½ M RB2

We must assume that the masses of the gears are the same as they do not give the value of the same

WB= WA(RA/RB)2

WB= 24 (4/10)2

WB = 3.84 rad/s

A gear rotate them gears B and C are the same axis one two thus rotate with the same WB= WC

and is the same sense

gear C y D

Li =Lf

IC WC = ID WD

WD = WC IC/ID

WD = WC (RC/RD)2

WD= 3.84 ( 5/10)2

WD =0.960 rad/s

As the gear B and C rotate clockwise gears D rotate in the opposite direction that is counterclockwise

Part B)

We use the expression of angular momentum for each gear

= I

Engranaje A

A = IA A

A = IA A

B = IB B

like the gears they are attached torque is the same in all of them

IAA= IBB

B= IA/IBA

gear B and C rotate together along the same axis thus has the same angular acceleration

IC C = ID D

D = C IC /ID

D = IA /IB A IC /ID

D= (RARC/RBRD)2A

D= ( 4 5 / 10 10)21.5

D= 0.0600 Rad/s2
