b) In car manufacturing industry, gear is an importance component to transmit power from engine
to other parts of a car. Sketch FIVE (5) types of gear.

ii. Spur gear ii. Helical gear

iv. Rack and pinion iv. Worm gear

vi. Bevel gear

c) Spur gear and helix gear are two major gears in transmission unit. Based on the statement, write
about:
i. TWO (2) major difference between two types of gears.

 Tooth Orientation - Spur gears have straight teeth. What are parallel to the gear's axis,
while helical gears have teeth that are cut at an angle
to the gear's axis.
 Contact Area and Load Distribution - This design characteristic contribute
to better load-bearing capacity and reduced wear,
making helical gears suitable for applications requiring
high speed and heavy loads.

ii. TWO (2) level of strength and noise between helix gear compared with a spur gear.

 Strength: Helical gears generally exhibit higher strength due to the angled teeth. The
helix angle allows for more gradual tooth engagement, spreading the load
along the teeth, resulting in higher torque capacity compared to spur gears.
 Noise: Helical gears are notably quieter than spur gears due their angled tooth
engagement. The gradual contact between teeth reduces impact and vibration,
leading to smoother quieter operation compared to the direct contact of teeth in
spur gears, which can generate more noise.

d) Sketch and label FIVE (5) parts of spur gear terminology
