Q101P
Expert-verifiedIn Fig., four pulleys are connected by two belts. Pulley A (radius) is the drive pulley, and it rotates at. Pulley B (radius) is connected by belt to pulley A. Pulley B’ (radius) is concentric with pulley B and is rigidly attached to it. Pulley C (radius) is connected by belt to pulley B’. Calculate (a) the linear speed of a point on belt , (b) the angularspeed of pulley B, (c) the angular speed of pulley B’, (d) the linear speed of a point on belt , and (e) the angular speed of pulley C. (Hint: If the belt between two pulleys does not slip, the linear speeds at the rims of the two pulleys must be equal.)
a) Linear speed of a point on belt is .
b) Angular speed of pulley is .
c) Angular speed of pulley B’ is .
d) Linear speed of point on belt 2 is .
e) Angular speed of pulley C is .
The linear velocity is given as the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. The angular velocity is defined as the rate of change of angular displacement with respect to time. Find the linearvelocity of belt 1 from radius of pulley A and angular speed of pulley A. From linear speed of belt 1, find the remaining values.
The relation between linear and angular velocity is-
where, v is velocity, r is radius and is angular velocity.
Use the following formula to find linear speed,
Hence, linear speed of a point on belt is .
Linear speed of pulley B is also because the belt doesn’t slip.
So, angular speed is given as follows:
Hence, angular speed of pulley is .
Angular speed of pulley is also because it is concentric to pulley A.
Hence, angular speed of pulley B’ is .
Linear speed is given as follows:
Hence, linear speed of point on belt 2 is .
Angular speed is as follows:
Hence, angular speed of pulley C is .
