A gearbox is to be designed with a compound reverted gear train that transmits 25 horsepower
with an input speed of 2500 rev/min. The output should deliver the power at a rotational speed in
the range of 280 to 300 rev/min. Spur gears with 20? pressure angle are to be used. Assuming a diametral pitch of 6 teeth/in. Please show all steps.
(a) Determine pitch diameters for each of the gears.
(b) Determine the pitch line velocities (in ft/min) for each set of gears.
(c) Determine the magnitudes of the tangential, radial, and total forces transmitted between each
set of gears.
(d) Determine the input torque.
(e) Determine the output torque, neglecting frictional losses.
