A gear system shown in Figure 1 consists of gear B and C with radii of 80 mm and 200 mm, respectively. Gear B with a mass of 0.9 kg is free to rotate at point A of the arm AO. The arm is free to rotate on the fixed axis O. Whereas, gear C is fixed on the axles O in a way that it will never rotate. The arm has a mass of 0.8 kg and a radius of gyration about O of 140 mm. Moreover, the arm AO has a center of gravity located at point G. 1.1. If the uniform torque of 4 Nm is applied to the arm OA, initially at rest in the horizontal position, calculate the velocity of point A as it reaches the top point A’. 1.2. Use the table method to calculate the angular speed of gear B, provided that the

1.1. If the uniform torque of 4 Nm is applied to the arm OA, initially at rest in the
horizontal position, calculate the velocity of point A as it reaches the top point A’.
1.2. Use the table method to calculate the angular speed of gear B, provided that the
arm rotates at 5,118 rad/s.
