Module 2 Activity No. 1-Gamboa, Ariel C

This document contains solutions to two gear train problems. Problem 1 involves calculating the number of teeth for two gears with a given speed ratio and center distance. The solution shows calculating the diameter for each gear and determining that the number of teeth is not one of the choices. Problem 2 calculates the standard center distance for a pinion and gear with given number of teeth and pressure angle. The solution shows setting up and solving equations to find the center distance is 8.3 inches.
