Question:

The gear train shown operates in a horizontal plane and is used to transmit motion to the rack D of mass mD. If an input torque M is applied to gear A, what will be the resulting acceleration a of the unloaded rack? (The mechanism which it normally drives has been disengaged.) Gear C is keyed to the same shaft as gear B. Gears A, B, and C have pitch diameters dA, dB, and dC, and centroidal mass moments of inertia IA, IB, and IC, respectively. All friction is negligible.
