Find the acceleration in a composition of movement

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the acceleration at point D in a system involving two circles rotating at a constant speed of π rad/s. The user has obtained a simulation result of -1643 mm/s² for the acceleration at point D but seeks a mathematical method to derive this value. The recommended approach involves introducing variables for relevant positions, expressing constraints in terms of these variables, and solving the resulting equations. If analytical solutions are not feasible, numerical methods should be employed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of rotational motion and angular velocity
  • Familiarity with kinematic equations and acceleration

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.
