Question 1.
What is tangential force in gears?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how gears transmit motion.
Question 2.
Which force acts perpendicular to the pitch circle?
Show hintHide hint
It's the force that affects the load on bearings.
3Question 3.
What force transmits torque in gears?
- Radial Force
- Tangential Force
- Axial Force
Show hintHide hint
Think about which force moves along the pitch circle.
4Question 4.
Radial forces act perpendicular to which force?
- True

Show hintHide hint
Picture the orientation of the forces.
Question 5.
Design a hypothetical gearbox and detail which forces you would consider at each gear's operation point.
Show hintHide hint
Sketch the gear arrangement to visualize forces.
Question 6.
Suppose a specific gear design resulted in axial forces leading to frequent misalignment. Propose a solution.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how you can redistribute forces in design.
