Ok the problem states "The moments of inertia of gears A and B are IA = 0.02 kg-m^2 and IB = 0.09 kg-m^2. Gear A is connected to a torsional spring with constant k = 12 N-m/rad. If gear B is given an initial counterclockwise angular velocity of 10 rad/s with the torsional spring unstretched, through what maximum counterclockwise angle does gear B rotate?" Gear B has a radius of 140 mm and Gear A has a radius of 200mm. They are grinding against each other, so Gear B is moving counterclockwise and Gear A is moving clockwise. The answer given in the back of the book is .731 rad = 41.9 degrees.My prof hinted to solve use Conservation of Energy equation1/2IBwB^2 1/2IAwA^2 0 = 0 (1/2k * theta^2)and rAwA = rBwBI used these equations and did not get the right answer...i ended up with 1.04 = theta. Help make this clear to me!! I'm completely lost!
