5. Pinion 2 runs at 1800 rev/min and transmits 32hp to idler gear 3 i.
e attached to a double
reduction gear set. The teeth have a pressure angle of 20◦ full-depth and have a module of
m = 2 mm. And all gears are spur. Find the addendum, dedendum, pitch, clearance, circular
pitch, tooth thickness, and base-circle diameters for gear 2 & 3. Estimate the force
transmitted on gear 6 & 7

To find torque at gear 6, use torque ratio, mT ＝ ――
*and because gear 5 and 6 are on the
