MIDTERM EXAM
APRIL 9, 2021

PROBLEMS:
1. Three idlers of 28 T , 26 T and 26 T are introduced between the 34 T pinion with a
turning speed of 400 rpm driving a final 96T gear. What would be the final speed of
the driven gear and its direction relative to the driving gear rotation? Also compute
compute the center distance between driving and driven gears if the module is 5.

2. Compute module, clearance, backlash and whole depth for 20o involute gears
allowed for meshing spur gears with a circular pitch of diametral pitch of 20. The
spur gear has 25 teeth.

3. A gear transmits 20 kW at a pitch line velocity of 6000 ft/min. If the cut gear
service is intermittent the dynamic load in kN.

4. The worm gear rotating at 1250 rpm drives a worm wheel and whose velocity
ratio is 12 to 1. A driving motor with 12 hp is used to supply the worm with worm
pitch gear diameter of 3.5 in. Find the tangential force on the gear.

5. A driving gear at 20,000 rpm is used to drive a reduction gear delivering 2kW at
2,000 rpm. The gears are 20° involute herringbone gears of 10-pitch and 2.5 in
effective width. The pinion has 50 teeth with a helix angle of 25°. Determine the
load normal to the tooth surface.

6. A pair of bevel gear, 5-pitch, 14.5 °, involute have 3:1 reduction. The pitch
diameter of the driver is 13 inches and face width of 3 in. Determine the face angle
of pinion and gear. (Angle between shafts is 78 degrees angle)

7. A 3/8 inch flat belt is 12 inches wide and is used on 24 inches diameter pulley
rotating at 600 rpm. The specific weight of belt is 0.035 lb/in3. The angle of contact
is 150 °. If coefficient of friction is 0.3 and stress is 300 psi, how much power can it
deliver?

8. A cross belt connected pulleys has 10 cm diameter and 30 cm diameter. If center

distance is 50 cm, determine the length of cut if belt is connected open.
9. A shaft is supported by 3 in diameter and 4 in long bearing that uses oil with viscosity of
2.5 x 10 -6 reyns. The bearing has a diametral clearance of 0.008 in. At what horsepower
should the shaft rotates at 3500rpm.
