A total knee replacement experiences a spectrum of loading events, some rapid and some nearly steady state (but for a limited duration). Estimate the duration of the possible loading events, and compute the Deborah number for each, assuming a transition time for the polymer bearing of one day. Are any of these expected to occur in a fluid-like regime

Asimple speed reducer is composed of 2 spur gears. the pinion gear has a pitch diameter of 0.75" and 36 teeth while the driven gear has a pitch diameter of 4.0" and 192 teeth. a)-what is the diametral pitch of each gear? b)-if an electric motor rotating ccw at 3000 rpm is coupled to the pinion, what is the rotational speed of the driven gear? c)-if the torque delivered to the pinion is 1 n-m, what is the torque on the driven gear? d)-what is the power transmitted by the gear train?
