Solution: PROBLEM 15.23

The document describes a speed reduction system with three belts moving over two pulleys. It is given that the velocity of point A on the input belt is 2 ft/s decreasing at 6 ft/s^2. The document determines the velocity and acceleration of point C on the output belt, which are 0.5 ft/s and 1.5 ft/s^2 respectively. It also determines the acceleration of point B on the output pulley to be 3 ft/s^2.

PROBLEM 15.

23
Three belts move over two pulleys without slipping in the speed
reduction system shown. At the instant shown the velocity of
Point A on the input belt is 2 ft/s to the right, decreasing at the
rate of 6 ft/s2. Determine, at this instant, (a) the velocity and
acceleration of Point C on the output belt, (b) the acceleration of
Point B on the output pulley.

SOLUTION
Left pulley.
Inner radius r1 = 2 in.
Outer radius r2 = 4 in.
v A = 2 ft/s

(a A )t = −6 ft/s 2 = 6 ft/s 2

vA 2
ω 1= = = 6 rad/s
r2 124

( a A )t 6
α1 = = 4 = 18 rad/s 2
r2 12

Intermediate belt.
2
v1 = r1ω1 = (6) = 1 ft/s
12

2
(a1)t = r1α1 = (18) = 3 ft/s 2
12

Right pulley.

Inner radius r3 = 2 in.


Outer radius r4 = 4 in.
v1 1
ω2 = = = 3 rad/s
r4 ( 124 )

( a1 )t 3
α2 = = 4 = 9 rad/s 2
r4 ( 12 )
