Question: 4 . A 1 0 - pitch ( 2 0 ^ { circ } ) full - depth involute gearset, with

4. A 10-pitch \(20^{\circ}\) full-depth involute gearset, with \( Q_{v}=10\), and face width of 1.25 inches, is being proposed to provide a \(2: 1\) speed reduction for a conveyor drive unit. The 21-tooth pinion is to be driven by a 15-hp,1725-rpm electric motor operating steadily at full-rated power. A very long life is desired for this gearset, and a reliability of \(99\%\) is required. Higher precision gearing is to be used. Do the following:
(a) Using the AGMA refined approach, calculate the tooth bending stress at the tension-side root fillet of the driving pinion.
(b) For tooth bending fatigue, which gear is expected to fail first, the pinion or the gear? If the proposed material for both gears is AISI 4620 through-hardened to BHN 207(Grade 1), estimate the existing safety factor at the tension-side root fillet based on tooth bending fatigue.
