Question: 3 - 8 3 * A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in the figure. Gear A receives power to from another gear with

3-83* A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in the figure. Gear A receives power
to from another gear with the transmitted force FA applied at the 20 pressure angle as
3-84** shown. The power is transmitted through the shaft and delivered through gear B
through a transmitted force FB at the pressure angle shown.
(a) Determine the force FB, assuming the shaft is running at a constant speed.
(b) Find the bearing reaction forces, assuming the bearings act as simple supports.
(c) Draw shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the shaft. If needed, make
one set for the horizontal plane and another set for the vertical plane.
(d) At the point of maximum bending moment, determine the bending stress and the
torsional shear stress.
(e) At the point of maximum bending moment, determine the principal stresses and
the maximum shear stress.
