3.(\(\mathbf{18}\) points) The electric drill shown below is powered by an electric motor that turns an input shaft at a speed of 3600 rpm . A compound gear train connects the input shaft to the output shaft and the gears have the numbers of teeth shown on the diagram (\(\mathrm{T}=\)\# of teeth). The output shaft turns the chuck which holds the drill bit. Ball bearings are used throughout the drive system to support the rotating shafts which cause the inner bearing rings to rotate. The output shaft experiences a radial force of 100 N from the gears and the operator pushes on the drill with a force of 30 N during use. Assume that the drill is operated horizontally as shown in this commercial gearing operation.
a)(14 points) Select an appropriate ball bearing for the output shaft from Table 11-2 and show that it will achieve a desired bearing life of 180,000 hours at a \(90\%\) confidence interval.
b)(2 points) Would a plain bearing be suitable in this case? Why or why not?
c)(2 points) Is the drill as shown capable of going in reverse? Assume the electric motor is a one way motor. If not, propose a design change that could make this possible.
