Short Answer

In Fig10-61., four pulleys are connected by two belts. Pulley A (radius15  cm) is the drive pulley, and it rotates at.10  rad/s Pulley B (radius10  cm) is connected by belt 1 to pulley A. Pulley B’ (radius5  cm) is concentric with pulley B and is rigidly attached to it. Pulley C (radius25  cm) is connected by belt 2 to pulley B’. Calculate (a) the linear speed of a point on belt 1, (b) the angularspeed of pulley B, (c) the angular speed of pulley B’, (d) the linear speed of a point on belt2 , 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 1 is 1.5  m/s.

b) Angular speed ofB pulley is 15  rad/s.

c) Angular speed of pulley B’ is15  rad/s .

d) Linear speed of point on belt 2 is0.75 m/s .

e) Angular speed of pulley C is 3  rad/s.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given

  1. Radius of pulley A is ra=15  cm
  2. Radius of pulley B is rb=10 cm
  3. Radius of pulley B’ is rb'=5  cm
  4. Radius of pulley C is rc=25 cm
  5. Angular velocity of pulley A is ωa=10  rad/s
  6. If the belt between two pulleys does not slip, the linear speed at the rims of the two pulleys must be equal.

Step 2: The concept

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-

v=

where, v is velocity, r is radius andω is angular velocity.

Step 3: (a) Determining the linear speed of a point on belt 1

Use the following formula to find linear speed,

va=raωa=0.15 m×10 rad/s=1.5 m/s

Hence, linear speed of a point on belt 1 is1.5  m/s .

Step 4: (b) Determining the angular speed of pulley B

Linear speed of pulley B is also 1.5  m/s because the belt doesn’t slip.

So, angular speed is given as follows:

ωb=vbrb=1.5 m/s0.10 m=15  rad/s

Hence, angular speed of pulleyB is 15  rad/s.

Step 4: (c) Determining the angular speed of pulley B'

Angular speed of pulley B' is also 15 rad/s because it is concentric to pulley A.

Hence, angular speed of pulley B’ is15 rad/s .

Step 4: (d) Determining the linear speed of point on belt 2

Linear speed is given as follows:

v2=rb'×ωb'=0.05 m×15 rad/s=0.75  m/s

Hence, linear speed of point on belt 2 is 0.75 m/s.

Step 4: (e) Determining the angular speed of pulley c

Angular speed is as follows:

ωc=v2rc=0.75 m/s0.25 m=3 rad/s

Hence, angular speed of pulley C is 3  rad/s3  rad/s.
