Calculate the straight line reactions and Reaction Influence Number matrix. Assume that Wp includes the weight of the propeller and the associated length of shafting L1. Assume that Wg includes the weight of the low speed gear and the associated length of gear shafting L4.
2. Calculation of Straight-Line Reactions and Reaction Influence Number Matrix:
Calculate both the straight-line reactions and the Reaction Influence Number matrix for the following shafting system:
Wp=8,000 lbs
Wg=9,000 lbs
