- Figure 219 shows a compound gear train. Gears B and C are keyed to the same shaft; therefore, they turn at the same speed. Gear A and gear C are driving gears. Gear B and gear D are driven gears. Set up a proportion for each problem and determine the unknown values, x, y, and z in the table. Round the answers to 1 decimal place where necessary.arrow_forwardOf two gears that mesh, the one that has the greater number of teeth is called the gear, and the one that has the fewer teeth is called the pinion (Figure 218). For each of the problems, set up a proportion, and determine the unknown value, x. Round the answers to 1 decimal place where necessary.arrow_forwardWrite a CNC G-code program to machine the part in the following figure, so that the tip of the tool follows this path: rapid movement to a point above P8, with z=4 . using absolute dimensioning change to tool "4, with a clockwise spindle speed of 2500 rpm, with coolant on and a feed rate of 14 in./min using incremental dimensioning -rapid movement to 4 in. above P1 -rapid movement to lower the tool to be 0.1 in. above the top surface of the part -move the tool to be 0.5 in. below the top at a 14 in./min feed rate -follow the path around the perimeter to points P2 through PI, ending at P1, using the 14in„/min feed rate turn off the spindle and coolant use absolute dimensioning to return to the start point end the programarrow_forward
- Suppose that the peak of the roof occurs 20 rather than 14 horizontal feet toward the interior of the structure. How high would the peak of the roof be in this setting? Example 3.1 In Figure 3.5, we have extended the roof to its peak 14 horizontal feet toward the interior of the structure. FIGURE 3.5 Extending the roof line to its peakarrow_forwardSolve the following exercises based on Principles 11-14, although an exercise may require the application of two or more of any of the principles. Round the answers to 3 decimal places where necessary unless otherwise stated. a. If radius x = 7.500" and y = 4.500", find PM. b. If radius x = 8.000" and y = 4.800", find PM.arrow_forwardMeasure the lengths of g-k in Figure 30-26 to the nearer whole millimeter.arrow_forward
