The 30-kg gear Ahas a radius of gyration about its center of
mass Oof .If the 20-kg gear rack Bis
subjected to a force of , determine the time
required for the gear to obtain an angular velocity of
,starting from rest.The contact surface between the
gear rack and the horizontal plane is smooth.

SOLUTION
Kinematics: Since the gear rotates about the fixed axis,the final velocity of the gear
rack is required to be
Principle of Impulse and Momentum: Applying the linear impulse and momentum
equation along the xaxis using the free-body diagram of the gear rack shown in Fig.a,
The mass moment of inertia of the gear about its mass center is
.Writing the angular impulse and momentum
equation about point Ousing the free-body diagram of the gear shown in Fig. b,
