Diagram shows two vertical shafts A B marked 1 and C D marked 2 centered on the x and x prime axes respectively. A gear of 150 millimeter diameter is at A on shaft 1 at a height of 400 millimeters. A gear of 100 millimeter diameter is at C on shaft 2 at a height of 400 millimeters. Above the gear A a torque T is applied on shaft 1 in the counterclockwise direction.
The procedure needed to solve this problem can be outlined as:
