Need help Dynamic Problem: Plane Kinetic of rigid bodies.

AI Thread Summary
To determine the angular acceleration alpha A of gear A, the relationship between the angular accelerations of gears A and B must be established, as they rotate at different speeds due to their gear ratio. The user has successfully computed alpha B using the equation 20 alpha B = 0.15 T and the relationship T - Wc = -mC aC, where aC is related to alpha B. To find alpha A, the user needs to apply the gear ratio, which connects the angular accelerations of the two gears. Understanding this relationship is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



The central moments of inertia of the gears A and B as shown are 10 kg.m2 and 20 kg.m2, respectively. If the mass of the block C is mC = 50 kg and the system is released from rest, determine alpha A of the gear A

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution



I can compute alpha B from the data but how can to compute alpha A? I mean is there an equation related between them?

By the way, about alpha B, did my equation correct?

20 alphaB = 0.15 T
T - Wc = -mC aC
aC = alphaB x 0.15

thx for your helps!
