Power is to be transferred from the pinion A to the output gear C inside a mechanical drive. Due to output motion requirements and space limitations, an idler gear B is introduced as shown. A force analysis has determined that the total contact force between each pair of meshing teeth has a magnitude F, 5340 N, and these forces are shown acting on idler gear B. Determine the magnitude of the resultant R of the two contact forces acting on the idler gear. Complete both a graphical and a vector solution. y 1 L--x C A B41 15F F 11 15% 1 www SUPPORT + A Power is to be transferred from the pinion A to the output gear C inside a mechanical drive.
