Question: The countershaft in Prob. 372, p. 138, is part of a speed reducing compound gear train using 20 spur gears. A gear on the input

The countershaft in Prob. 3–72, p. 138, is part of a speed reducing compound gear train using 20◦ spur gears. A gear on the input shaft drives gear A. Gear B drives a gear on the output shaft. The input shaft runs at 2400 rev/min. Each gear reduces the speed (and thus increases the torque) by a 2 to 1 ratio. All gears are to be of the same material. Since gear B is the smallest gear, transmitting the largest load, it will likely be critical, so a preliminary analysis is to be performed on it. Use a diametral pitch of 2 teeth/in, a face-width of 4 times the circular pitch, a Grade 2 steel through-hardened to a Brinell hardness of 300, and a desired life of 15 kh with a 95 percent reliability. Determine factors of safety for bending and wear.
