Answer

Ans: $$ \begin{aligned} \alpha_D r_D=0.4 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2 \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} & \alpha_A d \theta_A=\omega_A d \omega_A \\ & \alpha_A d \theta_A=\left(\theta_A+1\right) d\left(\theta_A+1\right) \\ & \alpha_A d \theta_A=\left(\theta_A+1\right) d \theta_A \\ & \alpha_A=\left(\theta_A+1\right) \end{aligned} $$ At $\theta_A=3 \mathrm{rad}$, $$ \begin{aligned} & \alpha_A=3+1=4 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2 \\ & \alpha_B r_B=\alpha_A r_A \\ & \alpha_B=\left(\frac{r_A}{r_B}\right) \alpha_A=\left(\frac{15}{50}\right)(4)=1.20 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2 \end{aligned} $$ Since gears $C$ and $B$ share the same shaft $\alpha_C=\alpha_B=1.20 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2$. $$ \begin{aligned} & \alpha_D r_D=\alpha_C r_C \\ & \alpha_D=\left(\frac{r_C}{r_D}\right) \alpha_C=\left(\frac{25}{75}\right)(1.20)=0.4 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2 \end{aligned} $$
