Q2/ Maria has an online shop where she sells hand made paintings and
cards. She sells the painting for 50 and the card for 20. It takes her 2 hours
to complete 1 painting and 45 minutes to make a single card. She also has
a day job and makes paintings and cards in her free time. She cannot spend
more than 15 hours a week to make paintings and cards. Additionally, she
should make not more than 10 paintings and cards per week.
She makes a profit of 25 on painting and 15 on each card. How many
paintings and cards should she make each week to maximize her profit.

There is no friction at the bearings except for the gear tooth forces. The material of the milled gears is steel having a Brinell hardness of 170. The input shaft speed (n2) is 800 rpm.

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.
