Question

Each of the gears a and b has a mass of 675 g and has a radius of gyration of 40 mm, while gear c has a mass of 3. 6 kg and a radius of gyration of 100 mm. Assume that kinetic friction in the bearings of gears a, b, and c produces couples of constant magnitude 0. 15 n·m, 0. 15 n·m, and 0. 3 n·m, respectively. Knowing that the initial angular velocity of gear c is 2000 rpm, determine the time required for the system to come to rest.

Answer 1

9.87 seconds

The time required for this system to come to rest is equal to 9.87 seconds.

We have the following data:

Mass of gear A = 675 g to kg = 0.675 kg.

Radius of gear A = 40 mm to m = 0.04 m.

Mass of gear C = 3.6 kg.

Radius of gear C = 100 mm to m = 0.1 m.

How can I calculate the time needed?

We would need to figure out the moment of inertia for gears A and C in order to compute the time needed for this system to come to rest.

Mathematically, the following formula can be used to determine the moment of inertia for a gear:

I = mr²

Where:

m is the mass.

r is the radius.

We have, For gear A:

I = mr²

I = 0.675 × 0.04²

I = 0.675 × 0.0016

I = 1.08 × 10⁻³ kg·m².

We have, For gear C:

I = mr²

I = 3.6 × 0.1²

I = 3.6 × 0.01

I = 0.036 kg·m².

The initial angular velocity of gear C would therefore be converted as follows from rotations per minute (rpm) to radians per second (rad/s):

ωc₁ = 2000 × 2π/60

ωc₁ = 4000π/60

ωc₁ = 209.44 rad/s.

Also, the initial angular velocity of gears A and B is given by:

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = rc/rA × (ωc₁)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 0.15/0.06 × (209.44)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 2.5 × (209.44)

ωA₁ = ωB₁ = 523.60 rad/s.

Taking the moment about A, we have:

I_A·ωA₁ + rA∫F_{AC}dt - M(f)_A·t = 0

On Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

(1.08 × 10⁻³)·(523.60) + 0.06∫F_{AC}dt - 0.15t = 0

0.15t - 0.06∫F_{AC}dt = 0.56549   ----->equation 1.

Similarly, the moment about B is given by:

0.15t - 0.06∫F_{BC}dt = 0.56549    ------>equation 2.

Note: Let x = ∫F_{BC}dt + ∫F_{AC}dt

Adding eqn. 1 & eqn. 2, we have:

0.3t - 0.06x = (0.56549) × 2

0.3t - 0.06x = 1.13098  ------>equation 3.

Taking the moment about A, we have:

Ic·ωc₁ - rC∫F_{AC}dt - rC∫F_{BC}dt - Mc(f)_A·t = 0

0.036(209.44) - 0.3t - 0.15(∫F_{BC}dt + ∫F_{AC}dt) = 0

0.3t + 0.15x = 7.5398    ------->equation 4.

Solving eqn. 3 and eqn. 4 simultaneously, we have:

x = 30.5 Ns.

Time, t = 9.87 seconds.
