14. A straight bevel gear pair has the following data: NP=15; NG=45; Pd=6; and 20 pressure angle. If the gear pair is transmitting 3.0 hp, compute the forces on both the pinion and the gear. The pinion speed is 300 rpm. The face width is 1.25 in. Compute the bending stress and the contact stress for the teeth and specify a suitable material and heat treatment. The gears are driven by a gasoline engine, and the load is a concrete mixer providing moderate shock. Assume that neither gear is straddle mounted.
