PROBLEM 15.178
In Problem 15.177, determine the angular velocity and
angular acceleration of disk S at the instant when
PROBLEM 15.177 The Geneva mechanism shown is used
to provide an intermittent rotary motion of disk S. Disk D
rotates with a constant counterclockwise angular velocity
of 8 rad/s. A pin P is attached to disk D and can slide in
one of the six equally spaced slots cut in disk S. It is
desirable that the angular velocity of disk S be zero as the pin
enters and leaves each of the six slots; this will occur if the
distance between the centers of the disks and the radii of the
disks are related as shown. Determine the angular velocity
and angular acceleration of disk S at the instant when
