Problem No. 1:
For the gear train sketched in the given figure, compute the output speed and the
direction of rotation of the output shaft if the input shaft rotates at 8600 rpm,
counterclockwise.
input D
NA = 16
A E NB = 82
I NC = 16
output
ND = 64
NE = 20
NF = 110
NG = 16
H NH = 16
C NI = 34
B G
F
Problem No. 2:
The gears shown in the figure have a diametral pitch of 2 teeth per inch and a 200
pressure angle. The pinion rotates at 3600 rev/min clockwise and transmits 300 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.
