Answer

$\omega_B=300rad/s$ $\omega_C=600rad/s$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required angular velocity as follows: We know that $\omega_A=20t+40$ at $t=3s$ $\omega_A=20(3)+40=100rad/s$ The speed at point P is given as $v_P=\omega_Ar_A$ $\implies v_P=100\times 0.075=7.5m/s$ Now, $\omega_B=\frac{v_P}{r_B}$ $\implies \omega_B=\frac{7.5}{0.025}=300rad/s$ Similarly, $v_P^{\prime}=\omega_Br_B$ $\implies v_P^{\prime}=300\times 0.1=30m/s$ Now, $\omega_C=\frac{v_P^{\prime}}{r_C}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega_C=\frac{30}{0.05}=600rad/s$
