Engineering AGMA pitting resistance factor of safety (SH)

[ironfalls18]

Homework Statement

If the AGMA pitting resistance factor of safety (SH) for a certain gear was found to be equal to 2, it means that the transmitted load can be increased 4 times, while still get the required performance.

Relevant Equations

None.

is the statement true or false?

This is from Shigley's Engineering design, I'm unable to approach this in the right way,
I need help in "catching the string".

Is the statement true or false?

Find the AGMA pitting equation, look for the safety factor and the transmitted load. Are they separated in the equation by a square or a square root? 2 = √4 ; 2² = 4 ;
