Diagram shows a gear B, with 100 millimeter diameter, is placed above the gear C with 200 millimeter diameter. A shaft passes through gear C. A torque T in counter clockwise direction is applied on the shaft at D, a torque T subscript c in counter clockwise direction is applied on the shaft at C . The x-axis passes through the shaft.
The external torque
