a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
View Answer
Explanation: Given: No. Of teeth=30 teeth Diameter=6 inches Pitch=Number of teeth/Diameter Pitch=30/6=5.
3 - Question
What is the torque offered by a gear, if the tangential force is 20 N and radius of the gear is 1m?
a) 5Nm
b) 15Nm
c) 20Nm
d) 2.55Nm
View Answer
Explanation: Given: Tangential force=20N Radius of the gear=1m Torque=tangential force (F)*Radius(R) Torque=20*1=>20Nm. advertisement
4 - Question
What is the radius of a gear, if torque generated by the gear is 20Nm and the tangential force is 5N?
a) 5m
b) 15m
c) 10m
d) 4m
View Answer
Explanation: Given: No. Of teeth=30 teeth Diameter=6 inches Pitch=Number of teeth/Diameter Pitch=30/6 = 5.
5 - Question
The pitch of a gear is defined as the number of teeth per unit pitch circle radius.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The pitch of a gear is not the number of teeth per unit pitch circle radius. It is defined as the number of teeth per unit pitch circle diameter. The diameter is taken in inches.
6 - Question
The radial distance between root circle and pitch circle is called addendum.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The radial distance between root circle and pitch circle is not called addendum. The radial distance between root circle and pitch circle is called dedendum. Radial distance between addendum circle and pitch circle is called addendum.
7 - Question
What is the velocity ratio of two gears if the driver gear has 15 teeth and driven gear has 5 teeth?
a) 2:1
b) 3:1
c) 4:3
d) 5:1
View Answer
Explanation: Given: No. Of teeth of driver gear=15 No. Of teeth of driven gear=5 Velocity ratio=No. of teeth of driver gear/No. of teeth of driven gear Velocity ratio => 15/5=3:1.
8 - Question
What is the torque offered by a gear, if the tangential force is 10N and radius of the gear is 0.5m?
a) 5Nm
b) 15Nm
c) 10Nm
d) 2.55Nm
View Answer
Explanation: Given: Tangential force=10N Radius of the gear=0.5m Torque=tangential force (F)*Radius(R) Torque=10*0.5 => 5Nm.
9 - Question
What is the radius of a gear, if torque generated by the gear is 20Nm and the tangential force is 5N?
a) 5m
b) 4m
c) 10m
d) 2m
View Answer
Explanation: 4m is the radius of a gear, if torque generated by the gear is 20Nm and the tangential force is 5N. Since the formula for torque(T) is tangential force (F)*Radius(R), so radius=Torque(T)/Tangential force(F) which gives radius = 20Nm/5m => 4m.
10 - Question
What is the module of a gear if its pitch diameter is 15mm and it contains 3 teeth?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
View Answer
Explanation: Given: Pitch diameter = 15mm No. Of teeth=3 teeth Module=Pitch diameter/No. Of teeth Module=>15/3=5.
11 - Question
What is the velocity ratio of two gears if the driver gear has 20 teeth and driven gear has 10 teeth?
a) 2:1
b) 3:2
c) 4:3
d) 5:1
View Answer
12 - Question
What is the speed ratio of two gears if the speed of the driver gear has 20 km/hr and driven gear has 10km/hr?
a) 2:1
b) 3:2
c) 4:3
d) 5:1
View Answer
13 - Question
What is the speed ratio of two gears if the speed of the driver gear has 25 km/hr and driven gear has 10km/hr?
a) 2:1
b) 3:2
c) 4:3
d) 5:2
View Answer
Explanation: Given: Speed of the driver gear=25km/hr Speed of the driven gear = 10km/hr Speed ratio=speed of the driver gear/speed of the driven gear Speed ratio=>25/10=5:2.
14 - Question
