Answer

$\omega_D=4rad/s$ $\alpha_D=0.4rad/s^2$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required angular velocity and angular acceleration as follows: As $\omega_Ar_A=\omega_B r_B$ This can be rearranged as $\omega_B=\frac{r_A}{r_B}\omega_A$ $\implies \omega_B=\frac{40}{100}(20)=8rad/s$ and $\alpha_B=\frac{r_A}{r_B}\alpha_A$ $\implies \alpha_B=\frac{40}{100}(2)=0.8rad/s^2$ As the gear C is linked to gear B, therefore $\omega_B=\omega_C$ and $\alpha_B=\alpha_C$ Similarly, $\omega_C r_C=\omega_D r_D$ This can be rearranged as $\omega_D=\frac{r_C}{r_D}\omega_C$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega_D=\frac{50}{100}(8)=4rad/s$ and $\alpha_D=\frac{r_C}{r_D}\alpha_C$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\alpha_D=\frac{50}{100}(0.8)$ $\implies \alpha_D=0.4rad/s^2$
