Problem 1
For a spur gear having an outside diameter of 75mm, full-depth involute gear teeth with a
module of 1mm and a 20o pressure angle, find the pitch diameter of the gear, the circular pitch,
the addendum, the dedendum, and the number of gear teeth.
Problem # 2
Problem # 3
In the reverted planetary train illustrated, find the speed and direction of rotation of the arm if the
gear 2 is unable to rotate and gear 6 is driven at 12 rpm in clockwise direction.

Problem 5:
As shown in the figure, shaft a rotates at a speed of n2 = 1200
rev/min and provides power of H= 20 kW to helical gear 2.
Helical gears 2 and 3 have a helix angle of 30 degs, a normal
module of 2 mm and a normal pressure angle of 20 degs. Bevel
gears 4 and 5 have a module of 4 mm, a pressure angle of 20
degs, a face width of 50 mm. Helical gear 3 and bevel gear 4 are
mounted on the same shaft which is supported in the middle by
a bearing that can take both radial and thrust loads.
a) Determine the speed (n5) of gear 5 in rpm.
b) Calculate the total thrust and radial forces (Fthrust) and
(Fradial) applied on the bearing shown in the figure.
