In the figure, wheel A of radius rA = 9.07 cm is coupled by belt B to wheel C of radius rC = 23.4 cm. The angular speed of wheel A is increased from rest at a constant rate of 1.28 rad/s2. Find the time needed for wheel C to reach an angular speed of 146 rev/min, assuming the belt does not slip. (Hint: If the belt does not slip, the linear speeds at the two rims must be equal.)

In the figure, wheel A of radius r A = 9.07 cm is coupled by belt B to wheel C of radius r C = 23.4 cm . The angular speed of wheel A is increased from rest at a constant rate of 1.28 rad / s 2 . Find the time needed for wheel C to reach an angular speed of 146 rev / min , assuming the belt does not slip. (Hint: If the belt does not slip, the linear speeds at the two rims must be equal.)
