A pulley has a constant angular acceleration of 3 rad/s2. When the angular velocity is 2rad/sec, that the total acceleration of a point on the rim of the pulley is 10ft/s2. Compute the diameter of the pulley
Added by Montserrat V.
Step 1
The tangential acceleration (a_t) is given by the product of the angular acceleration (α) and the radius (r) of the pulley. So, a_t = α*r. The radial acceleration (a_r) is given by the product of the square of the angular velocity (ω) and the radius (r) of the Show more…

When the angular velocity of a 4 m diameter pulley is 3 rad/s, the total acceleration of a point on its rim is 30 m/s². Determine the angular acceleration of the pulley at this instant.

If the angular velocity of the pulley is -8.4 rad/s at a given time, and its angular acceleration is -2.8 rad/s^2, what is the angular velocity of the pulley 1.5 s later?

The driving belt is twisted so that pulley $B$ rotates in the opposite direction to that of drive wheel $A$. If $A$ has a constant angular acceleration of $\alpha_{A}=30 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^{2},$ determine the tangential and normal components of acceleration of a point located at the rim of $B$ when $t=3 \mathrm{s}$, starting from rest.
