Problem 3(25 points). In the figure, shaft AB transmits power to shaft CD through a set of bevel gears
contacting at point E. The contact force at E on the gear of shaft CD is determined to be (FE)CD =92.8i
362.8j +808.0k lbf. A bearing life of 108 revolutions is desired with a 90 percent combined reliability for
the bearing set. Assume an application factor of one. (a) Determine the reactions at C and D assuming
simple supports assuming bearing C carries the axial thrust. (b) Should the bearings be oriented with
direct or indirect mounting so that the bearing C can carry the axial thrust? (c) Assuming bearings are
available with K =1.5, find the required radial rating for each bearing.
