rA rB

The belt that connects and does not slip. This indicates that the linear speeds at the
v A vC
two rims must be equal i.e. .
vA vC
Here, is the linear speed of the wheel A and is the linear speed of the wheel C.

Expression between linear velocity and angular velocity is

v r

Here, v is the linear velocity, r is the radius of the wheel, and is the angular speed of
the wheel.

The linear velocities of the wheel A and wheel B are constant. It indicates linear
acceleration of the wheel A and wheel B must also be constant

Expression between linear acceleration and angular acceleration is

a r

Here, a is the linear acceleration and is the angular acceleration of the wheel.

Express the relationship between linear acceleration of wheel A and C in terms of angular
acceleration.
