Consider the spur gears shown in Figure, where I1 = 0.1 kg-m2 and I2 = 2 kg-m2. Shaft 1 rotates twice as fast as shaft 2. The torques are given as T1 = 10 N-m and T2 = 0.
(a) Compute the angular acceleration ω1 assuming the shaft and gear inertias are negligible,
(b) Suppose the gear on shaft 1 has inertia 0.005 kg-m2 and the gear on shaft 2 has inertia 0.05 kg-m2. Compute the angular acceleration ω1.
