4. The differential in a tractor has a ring gear with 60 teeth driven by a bevel pinion with 20 teeth. Both of the differential side gears are connected to the rear axle through a final drive planetary gear set with a 4.94:1 reduction. The differential input speed and torque is 550 rpm and 2,050 lbft , respectively.
a. Calculate the speed, torque and power of each rear axle assuming the vehicle is traveling straight ahead on a uniform level surface. (Rear axle includes the final drive ratio.)
b. Now assume the wheel driven by the left axle encounters poorer traction, resulting in a \(10\%\) decrease in torque transmitting ability and also resulting in it to rotate \(30\%\) faster than the wheel driven by the right axle. Again, calculate the speed, torque and power of each rear axle. Assume the input speed remains constant. (Hint: You have two unknowns and will need two equations.)
