Find the acceleration in a composition of movement

AI Thread Summary
To find the acceleration at point D in a system of two circles rotating at the same speed of pi rad/s, it's essential to introduce variables for relevant positions and express constraints such as distances and angles in terms of these variables. The discussion emphasizes solving the resulting equations to determine the position of point D. If an analytical solution proves difficult, numerical methods can be employed as an alternative. The initial simulation indicated an acceleration of -1643 mm/s^2 at point D. A clear understanding of the system's geometry and constraints is crucial for accurate calculations.

Hello,
l need to find the acceleration in the D point but i don't know how.
the 2 circles turn in the same speed ( pi rad/s).

I use a simulation programme to find the D acceleration ( - 1643 mm/s^2) but how to find it with a mathematical approach ?

Sorry for my english

I don't understand what is fixed to what and I don't see point D.
Anyway: introduce variables for relevant positions, express your constraints (distances, angles, ...) in terms of those variables, solve the resulting equation system for the position of D. If that turns out to be impossible analytically, use numeric solutions.
