Determine the angular velocity and angular displacement

Click For Summary
The problem involves determining the angular velocity and angular displacement of an output shaft connected to a pinion gear with a constant angular acceleration of 3 rad/s², starting from rest. After calculating, the angular velocity at gear A is found to be 6 rad/s, which translates to an angular velocity of 1.68 rad/s at gear B due to the gear ratio. The angular acceleration remains constant at 0.84 rad/s² for gear B, which is equal to that of gear C since they are connected. The angular displacement for gear C is calculated using the relationship between angular velocity and displacement, resulting in 1.68 rad. The calculations confirm that both the angular velocity and displacement at gear B are indeed 1.68 rad.

Homework Statement


The pinion gear A has a constant angular acceleration of 3 rad/s^2. Determine the angular velocity and angular displacement of the output shaft C @ t=2s starting from rest. The shaft is fixed to B and turns w/ it.

A has a radius of 35mm, B has a radius of 125mm, C is unkhown radius



Homework Equations



just a note. when i use a = angular acceleration



The Attempt at a Solution



First I found the angular velocity at A
w(a) = w(0) + at where w(0) = 0, a = 3rad/s^2, t=2
=6rad/s
Next I transferred it to the bigger gear B
w(a)r(a) = w(b)r(b) where w(a) = 6rad/s, r(a) = 35mm, r(b) = 125mm
there fore w(b) = 1.68 ras/s
a(a)r(a) = a(b)r(b) where a(a) = 3rad/s^2, r(a) = 35mm, r(b) = 125mm
therefore a(b) = .84 ras/s^2

Since B & C are conected is a(b) = a(c).

I then tried to find the angular displacement @ c

a d(pheta) = w dw which gives .84pheta = .5w(b)^2
pheta = 1.68 rad.

But 1.68 rad is the angular velocity at B. Is this correct

Looks to me like they are both 1.68 .

ω = a*t

θ = 1/2 a*t2 or

2*θ = a*t*t

But when t = 2 that means

θ = 2*a = ω
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
