Module 2 Activity No. 1

This document contains 3 gear train problems and their solutions. Problem 1 involves finding the number of teeth on two gears with a given speed ratio and center distance. The number of teeth are 112 and 144. Problem 2 finds the diametral pitch given a pinion and gear with known module and teeth. The diametral pitch is 6.35. Problem 3 calculates the standard center distance for a pinion and gear with known module and teeth, which is 8.3 inches.

Problem No. 1
Two 8P gears are to be mounted on a center distance of 16 in. The speed ratio is 7: 9. Find the
number of teeth in each gear. Ans. 112 and 144

Solution:
