The gear A on the drive shaft of the outboard motor has a
radius rA
0.7 in. and the meshed pinion gear B on the
propeller shaft has a radius rB
1.4 in. Determine the
magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of a point P
located on the tip of the propeller at the instant t
0.75 s.
the drive shaft rotates with an angular acceleration
(300
) rad
s2, where t is in seconds. The propeller is
originally at rest and the motor frame does not move.
Ans:
SOLUTION
Angular Motion: The angular velocity of gear A at
must be determined
first. Applying Eq. 16–2, we have
The angular acceleration of gear A at
is given by
Motion of P: The magnitude of the velocity of point P can be determined using
Eq.16–8.
The tangential and normal components of the acceleration of point P can be
determained using Eqs. 16–11 and 16–12, respectively.
