3.

A simple gear train is composed of three gears. Gear A is the driver and has 84 teeth, gear B has 60 teeth, and gear c has 42 teeth. If the output at gear C is 1200 ft. lb, what is the input torque at gear A?

a)

600 ft lb

b)

1200ft lb

c)

1800 ft lb

4.

A compound gear train is composed of four gears: A, B, C, and D. Gear A has 120 teeth. Gear B has 12 teeth and shares a shaft with gear C, which has 24 teeth. Gear C is meshed with gear D, the output gear. Power is supplied at gear A with 200 ft. lb of torque and is traveling at 400 rpm. The necessary torque output for the system is 1600 ft. lb.

a)

18\frac{1}{8}

b)

81\frac{8}{1}

c)

12\frac{1}{2}

d)

21\frac{2}{1}

5.

In a pulley system, pulley A is moving at 600 rpm and has a diameter of 12 in. Three pulleys B, C, and D, all of different sizes are attached to a single output shaft. Speed and torque output are changed within the system by moving the drive belt between pulleys B, C, and D. A speed of 1200 rpm is required when the drive belt is connected to pulley B. What is the diameter of pulley B?

a)

2

b)

4
