 Q2 [20 marks]: A helical gear has a normal diametral pitch, Pnd, of 8, a
normal pressure angle of 20°, 32 teeth, a face width of 3.00 in, and a
helix angle of 15°. Compute the diametral pitch, the transverse pressure
angle, and the pitch diameter.
If the gear is rotating at 650 rpm while transmitting 7.50 hp, compute the
pitch line speed, the tangential force, the axial force, and the radial force

 Q3 [30 marks]: The figure shows a 10 diametral pitch 18-tooth 20°
straight bevel pinion driving a 30-tooth gear. The transmitted load is 25 lbf.
Find the bearing reactions at C and D on the output shaft if D is to take
both radial and thrust loads.

 Q4 [30 marks]: A right-hand single-tooth hardened-steel (hardness not
specified) worm has a catalog rating of 2000 W at 600 rev/min when
meshed with a 48-tooth cast-iron gear. The axial pitch of the worm is 25
mm, the normal pressure angle is 141 2°, the pitch diameter of the worm
is 100 mm, and the face widths of the worm and gear are, respectively,
100 mm and 50 mm. Bearings are centered at locations A and B on the
worm shaft. Determine which should be the thrust bearing (so that the
axial load in the shaft is in compression), and find the magnitudes and
directions of the forces exerted by both bearings.
