20 Question 5 Design a mechanical clock using gear trains at different levels. Schematic diagram clearly shows the mounting of second, minute and hour hands of clock. Gear K is pivoted loosely on shaft D and is connected by a tubular shaft to the hour hand. a. Determine how much teeth of Gear A should anchor allowed to move in 1 second. b. Gear B is mounted on Shaft B to connect it to Shaft C. Determine the necessary Gear ratios, Number of teeth on each Gear along with shaft speed to make it an exact clock. c. Design the Gear train between shaft D and F to turn the drum 4 times in 24 hours. d. Discuss the importance of shaft C, why it needs to placed here? Give reason of each step as well. 16T Anchor- Gear A 120T Gear K H
