A steel spur pinion has a module (
) of 1.25 mm, 20 teeth and 20° pressure angle. The pinion rotates at 1200 rpm and transmits power to a 60 teeth gear. The face width (
) is 50 mm, Lewis form factor
and a dynamic factor
. The bending stress (
) induced in a tooth can be calculated by using the Lewis formula given below.If the maximum bending stress experienced by the pinion is 400 MPa, the power transmitted is ______ kW (round off to one decimal place).
Lewis formula:

A steel part with surface area of 125 cm² is to be chrome coated through an electroplating process using chromium acid sulfate as an electrolyte. An increasing current is applied to the part according to the following current time relation:
where,
= current (A) and
= time (minutes). The part is submerged in the plating solution for a duration of 20 minutes for plating purpose. Assuming the code efficiency of chromium to be 15% and the plating constant of chromium acid sulfate to be 2.50 × 10⁻² mm³/A·s, the resulting coating thickness on the part surface is ______ μm (round off to one decimal place).Log in to check the answer
