Question 1096677
The centers of two meshed gears are 21 in. apart. If the smaller one moves through 3 radians per sec. and has a radius of 9 in., what is the angular speed of the larger?
----------
Step 1, find the 2nd radius.
21 - 9 = 12 inches.
-----------
It's 4/3 the smaller radius --> 3/4 the angular speed.
--> 2.25 rad/sec
