Question: flem 2 : The gear train shown below has 4 gears where gear 1 and 4 are mounted on the same shaft the pinion 1

flem 2: The gear train shown below has 4 gears where gear 1 and 4 are mounted on the same shaft the pinion 1 is rotating clockwise driving gear 2 which is meshed with gear 3 to provide torque to the eutput shaft a. Gears 1,2, and 3 have module of 10 mm and \(20^{\circ}\) pressure angle. The pinion 1 rotates at 800 rpm and transmits 4 kW of power.
(a) Draw the complete free body diagram of gear 2 showing all the contact forces and shaft forces. \((4\) points)
(b) Assuming 100\% efficient power transmission, calculate the forces exerted by shaft b on gear 2 along x and y directions. (12 points)
(c) If the pitch circle radius of gear 4 is 375 mm , then, if required for a different purpose, can gear 1 and 4 be meshed with both having the same pressure angle? Explain. (2 points)
