Problem:
A parallel-shaft gearset consists of an 18-tooth helical pinion driving a 32-tooth gear.
The pinion has a left-hand helix angle of 25 deg, a normal pressure angle of 20deg ,
and a normal module of 3 mm. Find: (a) The normal, transverse, and axial circular
pitches (b) The transverse module and the transverse pressure angle (c) The pitch
diameters of the two gears
