Question: In the gear - shaft system shown, an external force produces a periodic fluctuating torque between 0 and 2 0 0 0 lbf - in

In the gear-shaft system shown, an external force produces a periodic fluctuating torque between 0 and 2000 lbf-in. Due to the given forces, the maximum bending moments at the positions of gears A and B are 900 lbf-in and 2000 lbf-in, respectively, and these act as completely reversed loads.
Using the given formulas, calculate the factor of safety at the location of gear B, assuming the shaft diameter is 2 inches. The material is steel with ultimate strength Su=108kpsiS_u =108\,\text{kpsi}Su=108kpsi, yield strength Sy=62kpsiS_y =62\,\text{kpsi}Sy=62kpsi, and the shaft is machined with minor shocks considered. Round the final answer to two decimal places.
In the gear - shaft system shown, an external
