For the two gears. A and B. in Figure 3-19, compute the relative deflection between them in the plane of the paper that is due to the forces shown in Part (c). These separating forces, or normal forces, are discussed in Chapters 9 and 10. It is customary to consider the loads at the gears and the reactions at the bearings to be concentrated. The shafts carrying the gears are steel and have uniform diameters as listed in the figure.
