Problem:
The gears shown in the figure have a diametral pitch of 2 teeth per inch and a 20 0 pressure
angle. The pinion rotates at 1800 rev/min clockwise and transmits 200 hp through the idler pair
to gear 5 on shaft c. Nothing is attached to the idler shaft and friction losses in the bearings and
gears can be neglected. Determine the resultant load applied by the idler to its shaft.

Solution:
