1. In a spur gear, what is the difference between the whole depth and working depth?

 The difference between the whole depth and working depth, is whole depth is the height of the tooth from
major diameter to minor diameter of a gear. While, working depth is a depth to which a tooth extends into the
space between teeth on the mating gear.

2. What is a circular pitch of a gear?

 The spacing of gear teeth, measured on the pitch circle. The circular pitch, therefore, equals the pitch
circumference divided by the number of teeth.

3. Two meshed gear will turn in what direction?

 When two gears are meshed together properly, turning one gear will turn the other in the opposite direction. 

4. A gear ratio of 1:5 indicates...?

 For example, using a three-geared gear train, with a gear ratio of 1:5, would yield a 2500% increase in rotation
speed, while keeping the output in the same direction as the input.
 It means that the driven gear makes five rotations for every one rotation of the driving gear.

5. A rack & pinion converts from what motion to what motion?

 Converts rotational motion to translational motion

6. An idler gear will affect gear ratio of two gears of the same size?Why?

 The intermediate gear provides spacing but does not affect the gear ratio. For this reason, it is called an idler
gear. The same gear ratio is obtained for a sequence of idler gears and hence an idler gear is used to provide the
same direction to rotate the driver and driven gear.

7. When a driver gear is larger than a driven gear, the output is?

 To increase the speed of the output the driver gear is larger than the driven gear. This will increase the speed of
the output but decrease the “torque”.

8. When a driver gear is smaller than a driven gear, the output is?

 To decrease the speed of the output the driver gear is smaller than the driven gear. This will reduce the speed
but increase the “torque”.

9. What is the relationship between speed and torque?

 Torque is the rotational equivalence of linear force. Speed measures the distance covered in unit time. Torque is
inversely proportional to speed. Thus, when speed increases, torque will decrease.

10. What is the advantage of using gears in driving mechanism?

 Gear drives have high transmission efficiency. They can transmit motion over small centre distance of shafts.
These drives are ideal for low, medium, high power transmission.
 The advantages of the use of gears in driving mechanism is that they have a high transmission efficiency and can
transmit motion over a small center distance of shafts. These gear drives are ideal for low, medium and high
power transmission.
