Toothed Gearing

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
The two parallel and coplanar shafts are connected by gears having teeth parallel to the axis of the shaft. This arrangement is called
spur gearing
helical gearing
bevel gearing
spiral gearing
Explanation:
The two parallel and co-planar shafts connected by the gears. These gears are called spur gears and the arrangement is known as spur gearing. These gears have teeth parallel to the axis of the wheel as shown in Fig. 12.1. Another name given to the spur gearing is helical gearing, in which the teeth are inclined to the axis.
Question 2

Pass Ratio : 20%
The size of a gear is usually specified by
pressure angle
circular pitch
diametral pitch
pitch circle diameter
Explanation:
Pitch circle diameter is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear is usually specified by the pitch circle diameter. It is also known as pitch diameter.
Question 3

Pass Ratio : 50%
Mitre gears are used for
great speed reduction
equal speed
minimum axial thrust
minimum backlash
Explanation:
When equal bevel gears (having equal teeth) connect two shafts whose axes are mutually perpendicular, then the bevel gears are known as mitres.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 50%
Involute profile is preferred to cyloidal because
the profile is easy to cut
only one curve is required to cut
the rack has straight line profile and hence can be cut accurately
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
The face and flank of involute teeth are generated by a single curve where as in cycloidal
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
Which is the incorrect relationship of gears?
Circular pitch × Diametral pitch = π
Module = P.C.D/No.of teeth
Dedendum = 1.157 module
Addendum = 2.157 module
Explanation:
None.
Question 6

Pass Ratio : 50%
The maximum length of arc of contact for two mating gears, in order to avoid interference, is
(r + R) sin φ
(r + R) cos φ
(r + R) tan φ
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
Interference may only be prevented, if the addendum circles of the two mating gears cut the
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
For a speed ratio of 100, smallest gear box is obtained by using
a pair of spur gears
a pair of helical and a pair of spur gear compounded
a pair of bevel and a pair of spur gear compounded
a pair of helical and a pair of worm gear compounded
Explanation:
None.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
If the module of a gear be m, the number of teeth T and pitch circle diameter D, then
m = D/T
D = T/m
m = D/2T
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
Module, m = D /T.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
Law of gearing is satisfied if
two surfaces slide smoothly
common normal at the point of contact passes through the pitch point on the line joining the centres of rotation
number of teeth = P.C.D. / module
addendum is greater than dedendum
Explanation:
Law of gearing says that the common normal at the point of contact between a pair of teeth must always pass through the pitch point.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
The radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the bottom of the tooth, is called
dedendum
addendum
clearance
working depth
Explanation:
Addendum is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the top of the tooth.
