Problems of Acceleration of A Geared System (Short)

The document contains two physics problems involving gear systems and inertia. Problem 1 describes a two-stage compound gear reduction with specified inertias for each component, asking for the starting torque of an electric motor. Problem 2 shows a geared system with masses and moments of inertia given for each shaft or component, asking for the acceleration of a 100 kg mass allowed to fall freely.

Problem 1

An electric motor drives a piece of machinery through a two stage compound reduction gear where the
reduction at each stage is 3:1. If the inertia of the motor armature and the driving gear is 0.05 kgm 2 and the
intermediate shaft containing the compounded pair is 0.1 kgm 2. The load, output gear and its shaft have an
equivalent inertia of 1 kgm2 referred to the output shaft. It takes two seconds for the motor to accelerate
from rest to its running speed of 2700 rev/min, calculate the motor starting torque assuming that it is
constant

(10.4 Nm)
Problem 4
Find the acceleration of the mass m=100 kg in Figure 1 if it is allowed to fall freely under gravity and the
geared system is 100% efficient. The moments of inertia of each shaft are I A=1.0, I(B+C)=1.25, ID=0.75 and
IE=0.5 kgm2 and the number of teeth on wheels A, B, C, D and E are 150, 75, 150, 100 and 50 respectively.
