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

scene 6 of 12

Diagram shows two shafts A B and C D of 35 millimeter diameter and 300 millimeter and 900 millimeter respectively, are connected using two gears, B with 100 millimeter diameter and C with 200 millimeter diameter. A torque T is applied at the end of C D at D. An internal torque T subscript 2 in applied on C D toward C. Parameters: d = 35 millimeter, G = 80 gega Pascal, T = 685 Newton meter.

Assume a positive internal torque in shaft $(2)$ . From the free-body diagram, write the equilibrium equation:

$\sum_{} M_{2} = T - T_{2} = 0$

$∴ T_{2} = T = + 685 N - m$
