 A compound reverter gear train is to be dessigned as a speed increaser to provide
a total increase of speed of exactly 45 to 1. With a 20degree pressure angle,
specify appropriate numbers of teeth to minimize the gear box size while avoiding
the interference problem in the teeth.
N2 = 162 teeth, N3 = 18 teeth, N4 = 150 teeth, N5 = 30 teeth
N2 = 170 teeth, N3 = 20 teeth, N4 = 130 teeth, N5 = 30 teeth
N2 = 150 teeth, N3 = 18 teeth, N4 = 162 teeth, N5 = 30 teeth
N2 = 130 teeth, N3 = 30 teeth, N4 = 170 teeth, N5 = 20 teeth

2. Shaft 'a' in the figure has a power input of 75 kW at a speed of 1000 rev/min in
the counter-clockwise direction. The gears have a module of 5 mm and a 20degree
pressure angle. Gear 3 is an idler. Find the force F(3b) that gear 3 exerts against
shaft 'b'

Refer to the weldment figure. There are four welds. Find the safe bending force, F
if the allowable shear stress in the welds is t(allow). Given b = 50mm, c = 150mm,
d = 50mm, h = 5mm, t(allow) = 140MPa.
