Textbook Question
Chapter 16.7, Problem 15CC
Create a structure array named Resistors containing data on three resistors, including fields for Value, Power, Composition, and Tolerance. The three resistors should have the following specifications (enter numeric values only for Value, Power, and Tolerance, not the units):
• 100,000 ohms, ¼ watt, Metal Film, 0.1%
• 2,200,000 ohms, ½ watt, Carbon, 5%
• 15 ohms, 50 watts, Wire Wound, 10%

1. The rotating steel shaft is simply supported by bearings at points of B and C, and is driven by a spur
gear at D, which has a 6-in pitch diameter. The force F from the drive gear acts at a pressure angle of
20°. The shaft transmits a torque to point A of TA =3000 lbĘ in. The shaft is machined from steel with
Sy=60kpsi and Sut=80 kpsi.
(1) Draw a shear force diagram and a bending moment diagram by F. According to your analysis, where is
the point of interest to evaluate the safety factor among A, B, C, and D? Describe the reason. (Hint: To find
F, the torque Tд is generated by the tangential force of F (i.e. Ftangential-Fcos20°)
When n=2.5, K=1.8, and K₁ =1.3, determine the diameter of the shaft based on
(2) static analysis using DE theory (note that fatigue stress concentration factors need to be used for this
question because the loading condition is fatigue) and
(3) a fatigue analysis using modified Goodman.
Note) A standard diameter is not required for the questions.

(1) Compute the circular pitch, the center-to-center distance, and base circle radii.
(2) Draw the free body diagram of gear 3 and show all the forces and the torque.
(3) In mounting gears, the center-to-center distance was reduced by 0.1 inch.
Calculate the new values of center-to-center distance, pressure angle, base circle radii,
and pitch circle diameters.
(4)What is the new tangential and radial forces for gear 3?
(5) Under the new center to center distance, is the contact ratio (mc) increasing or
decreasing?
2. A flat belt drive consists of two 4-ft diameter cast-iron pulleys spaced 16 ft apart.
A power of 60 hp is transmitted by a pulley whose speed is 380 rev/min. Use a
service factor (Ks) pf 1.1 and a design factor 1.0. The width of the polyamide A-3
belt is 6 in. Use CD=1. Answer the following questions.
(1) What is the total length of the belt according to the given geometry?
(2) Find the centrifugal force (Fc) applied to the belt.
(3) What is the transmitted torque through the pulley system given 60hp?
(4) Using the allowable tension, find the force (F₁) on the tight side. What is the
tension at the loose side (F2) and the initial tension (F.)?
(5) Using the forces, estimate the developed friction coefficient (f)
(6) Based on the forces and the given rotational speed, rate the pulley set. In other
words, what is the horse power that can be transmitted by the pulley system?
(7) To reduce the applied tension on the tight side, the friction coefficient is
increased to 0.75. Find out the…
