2. The rack slides on a horizontal surface with the velocity and acceleration shown. The rack meshes with gear A, and gear A meshes with B. Gears A and B rotate about fixed centres. Determine (a) the angular velocities of gears A and B at this instant in rad/s (b) the angular accelerations of gears A and B at this instant in rad/s (c) the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of point P on the outer edge of gear B at this instant (d) the number of revolutions gear B will turn before stopping and the distance in metres that point P travels in this time TA = 30 mm TC 30 www TB = 60 mm VR = 2.0 m/s aR = 0.80 m/s
