12.12 A 22-tooth helical pinion has a normal pressure angle of 20°, a normal diametral pitch of 8 teeth/in., a face width of 2 in., and a helix angle of 25°; it rotates at 1800 rpm and transmits 30 hp to a 40-tooth gear. Determine the factor of safety based on bending strength, employing the Lewis equation. Given: Fatigue stress-concentration factor Kr= 1.5. Assumption: The pinion and gear are both steel, hardened to 250 Bhn.
