Answer

Ans: $$ s_W=2.89 \mathrm{~m} $$

Work Step by Step

Angular displacedment of gear $A$ at $t=5 \mathrm{~s}$ is: $$ \begin{gathered} d \theta=\omega d t \\ \int_0^{\theta_A} d \theta=\int_0^{5 s} 100(4+t) d t \\ \theta_A=3250 \mathrm{rad} \end{gathered} $$ And $r_A \theta_A=r_B \theta_B$, then: $$ \theta_B=\frac{r_A}{r_B} \theta_A=\left(\frac{40}{225}\right)(3250)=577.78 \mathrm{rad} $$ Since gear $C$ is also attached to the same shaft as gear $B$ $$ \theta_C=\theta_B $$ Also $\theta_D r_D=\theta_C r_C$ $$ \theta_D=\frac{r_C}{r_D} \theta_C=\left(\frac{30}{300}\right)(577.78)=57.78 \mathrm{rad} $$ Since shaft $E$ is attached to gear $D$ $$ \theta_E=\theta_D $$ Then the distance at which load $W$ is lifted is? $$ s_W=r_E \theta_E=(0.05)(57.78)=2.89 \mathrm{~m} $$
