Question: A gear reduction system consists of three gears A, B, and C. Gear A starts from rest at time t = 0 and rotates clockwise

A gear reduction system consists of three gears A, B, and C. Gear A starts from rest at time t = 0 and rotates clockwise with constant angular acceleration. Knowing that the angular velocity of gear A is 600 rpm at time t = 2 s, determine

(a) The angular accelerations of gears B and C,

(b) The accelerations of the points on gears B and C which are in contact when t = 0.5s.
