Problem 1: Gears
Consider a hoist drive shown in the figure. The motor is coupled to the rope drum
through a gear mechanism, whose gear ratio is i = ωM /ωL = 9.6. The load mass is
m = 500 kg, the motor inertia is JM = 0.5 kgm2 , and the rope drum inertia is JL =
48.5 kgm2 . The radius of the rope drum is r = 0.25 m. The rope mass, gear inertias,
and the mechanical losses are omitted. Calculate the equivalent total inertia at the
motor side and the equivalent load torque at the motor side.
