Problem 3: The gears shown in the figure have a normal diametral pitch of 5 teeth/in, a normal pressure angle of \( 20^{\circ} \), and a \( 30^{\circ} \) helix angle. The transmitted load is \( 800 \mathrm{lbf} \). The pinion rotates counterclockwise about the \( y \)-axis, as viewed from the positive \( y \)-axis. Find the force exerted by each gear on its shaft.
Expert Answer
To find the force exerted by each gear on its shaft, we need to use the concept of gear torque. The torque transmitted by a gear is given by: T=Fd whe
