Question

I am looking to design a gear system in order to move a door upwards 2.25 inches. To do so I am using a rack and pinion system, where the rack is connected to the door and half of the rotation of the gear should cause the rack to more the 2.25 inches in one direction. What dimensions of the rack and pinion system do I need to achieve this goal? The weight being moved is under a pound so the torque and force does not need to be high, I am just unsure about the diameter, modulus, and number of teeth necessary for the rack and pinion

A counterweight passing over an ideal pulley can be used to help support a trap door (a door in the floor or ceiling). In the given diagram, the door has a mass of 35 kg and the counterweight has a mass of 20 kg. The width of the door is 76 cm. The tension in the rope attached to the counterweight is not enough to stop the door from swinging down. What additional vertical force (F) at its edge is needed to hold up the door?

The design specifications for the gear-and-shaft system shown require that the same diameter be used for both shafts and that the angle through which pulley $A$ will rotate when subjected to a 2-kip.in. torque $\mathbf{T}_{A}$ while pulley $D$ is held fixed will not exceed $7.5^{\circ} .$ Determine the required diameter of the shafts if both shafts are made of a steel with $G=11.2 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{psi}$ and $\tau_{\mathrm{all}}=12 \mathrm{ksi}$.
