MecMovies 4.0 : M6.13: Two Shafts Connected by Gears

scene 5 of 12

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 A in clockwise direction is applied on the shaft at A . The x-axis passes through the shaft.

The external torque $T = 685 N - m$ applied to shaft $(2)$ creates the following torques in the system:

The torque

T_{B}

is exerted on gear

B

by shaft

(1)

. In turn, gear

B

exerts an equal but opposite torque on shaft

(1)

.
