Concept used:
Mass moment of acceleration is given by-
The tangential force acting on a gear will provide the angular acceleration to the gear. Therefore,
The free body diagram of the three gears is as following-
Calculation:
The tangential component of two gears in mesh will be equal, therefore,
Since,
For gear B,
Since, gear a A and B are of same size, therefore because of symmetry, gear C will exert same force on gear B as on gear A.
