Problem Chain and Sprocket. A single-strand roller chain drive connects a 10-hp engine to a lawn waste chipper/shredder. As the engine operates at 1200 rpm, the shredding teeth should rotate at 240 rpm. The drive sprocket has 18 teeth. Determine an appropriate pitch for the chain, the number of teeth on the driven sprocket, the pitch diameters of both sprockets, and the chain speed. Also indicate the number of links in a suitable chain and specify the required center distance.
