Question: Problem 4 ( 4 points ) : A 2 - hp electric motor runs at 1 8 0 0 r e v m i n

Problem 4(4 points): A 2-hp electric motor runs at 1800revmin in the clockwise direction, as viewed from the positive x axis. Keyed to the motor shaft is an 18-tooth helical pinion having a normal pressure angle of 20, a helix angle of 30, and a normal diametral pitch of 12 teeth/in. The hand of the helix is shown in the figure.
a. Determine the various forces acting on the pinion.
b. Determine bearing reactions at A and B if the thrust should be taken out at A.
For all calculations, please draw proper FBDs.
