15.168 and 15.169 A chain is looped around two gears of radius 40 mm that can rotate freely with respect to the 320-mm arm AB. The chain moves about arm AB in a clockwise direction at the constant rate of 80 mm/s relative to the arm. Knowing that in the position shown arm AB rotates clockwise about A at the constant rate ω = 0.75 rad/s, determine the acceleration of each of the chain links indicated.

- The rated speed of drum B of the belt sander shown is 2400 rpm. When the power is turned off, it is observed that the sander coasts from its rated speed to rest in 10 s. Assuming uniformly decelerated motion, determine the velocity and acceleration of point C of the belt, (a) immediately before the power is turned off, (b) 9 s later.arrow_forwardA helicopter moves horizontally in the x direction at a speed of 120 mi/h.
