Answer

$12 rad/s$ $0.6 rad/s^2$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required angular velocity and angular acceleration as follows: $\omega_A r_A=\omega_B r_B$ $\implies \omega_B=\frac{r_A}{r_B}\omega_A$ $\implies \omega_B=\frac{40}{100}(60)=28rad/s$ and $\alpha_B=\frac{r_A}{r_B}\alpha_A$ $\implies \alpha_B=\frac{40}{100}(3)=1.2 rad/s^2$ As gear C is linked to gear B; therefore $\omega_B=\omega_C$ and $\alpha_B=\alpha_C$ Similarly, $\omega_Cr_C=\omega_D r_D$ This can be rearranged as: $\omega_D=\frac{r_C}{r_D}\omega_C$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega_D=\frac{50}{100}(24)=12 rad/s$ and $\alpha_D=\frac{r_C}{r_D}\alpha_C$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\alpha_D=\frac{50}{100}(1.2)=0.6 rad/s^2$
