Right Answer is:
SOLUTION
Lewis equation is the method introduced by Lewis to calculate the bending stresses of spur gear tooth when gear tooth is subjected to bending forces. Lewis considers single spur gear tooth subjected to bending loads tangentially on the surface of tooth which leads to bending stress at the root portion of the tooth.
