Question: A 2 - hp , 1 2 0 0 - rpm motor drives a 6 0 - rpm machine by means of a worm gear

A 2-hp,1200-rpm motor drives a 60-rpm machine by means of a worm gear reducer with a 5-in. center distance. The right-hand worm has two threads, an axial pitch of 58 in., and a normal pressure angle of 1412. The worm is made of steel, hardened and ground, and the gear is made of bronze. Determine (a) all force components corresponding to rated motor power, (b) the power delivered to the driven machine, and (c) whether or not the drive is self-locking.
Worm: Steel, hardened and ground
Nw=2,RH,p=58in.,n=1412
