Question
A bronze spur pinion rotating at $600\text{ r.p.m.}$ drives a cast iron spur gear at a transmission ratio of $4:1$. The allowable static stresses for the bronze pinion and cast iron gear are $84\text{ MPa}$ and $105\text{ MPa}$ respectively. The pinion has $16$ standard $20^\circ$ full depth involute teeth of module $8\text{ mm}$. The face width of both the gears is $90\text{ mm}$. Find the power that can be transmitted from the standpoint of strength.
