1. A particle P moves with constant angular speed ω around a circle whose center is at the origin and whose radius is R. The particle is said to be in uniform circular motion. Assume that the motion is counterclockwise and that the panicle is at the point (R, 0) when t = 0, The position
(a) Find the velocity vector v and show that v · r = 0, Conclude that v is tangent to the circle and points in the direction of the motion
(b) Show that the speed |v| of the particle is the constant ωR. The period T of the particle is the time required for one complete resolution. Conclude that
(c) Find the acceleration vector a. Show that it is proportional to r and that it points toward the origin. An acceleration with this property is called a centripetal acceleration. Show that the magnitude of the acceleration vector is |a| = Rω2.
(d) Suppose that the particle has mass m. Show that the magnitude of the force F that is required to produce this, motion, called a centripetal force. is

- A gear train consists of three gears meshed together (Figure 9). The middle gear is known as an idler. Show that the angular velocity of the third gear does not depend on the number of teeth of the idler gear (Gear 2).arrow_forwardGear Trains Figure 8 shows a single-stage gear train. Gear trains are used in many products, such as clocks and automotive transmissions, to reduce or increase the angular velocity of a component. The size of each gear is measured by the number of teeth rather than the radius. Suppose the first gear has n1 and the second gear has n2 teeth. Because the spacing of the teeth is the same for both gears, the ratio of their radii will be equivalent to the corresponding ratio of the number of teeth. When two gears are meshed together, they share the same linear velocity. If 1 and 2 are the angular velocities of the first and second gears, respectively, then v2=v1r22=r112=r1r212=n1n21 The second gear in a single-stage gear train has 6 teeth and an angular velocity of 90 revolutions per minute. The first gear has 54 teeth. Find the angular velocity of the first gear.arrow_forwardGear Trains Figure 8 shows a single-stage gear train.
