Wheels A and C are mounted on the same shaft and rotate together. Wheels A and B are connected via a belt and so are wheels C and D. The axes of rotation of all the wheels are fixed, and the belts do not slip relative to the wheels they connect. If, at the instant shown, wheel A has an angular velocity ωA = 2 rad/s and an angular acceleration αA = 0.5 rad/s2, determine the angular velocity and acceleration of wheels B and D. The radii of the wheels are RA = 1 ft, RB = 0.25 ft, RC = 0.6 ft, and RD = 0.75 ft.
