Show hintHide hint
Remember the relationship between the gears.
Question 2.
Why are involute gears commonly used?
Show hintHide hint
Think about manufacturing ease.
3Question 3.
What is required for the Fundamental Law of Gearing to be fulfilled?
- Common normal must pass through the pitch point
- Gears must be of the same diameter
- Gears must be aligned perfectly
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the purpose of the common normal.
4Question 4.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the properties of involute gears.
Question 5.
Consider a two-gear system where the common normal at the point of contact does not pass through the pitch point. Describe the potential impact on the system's performance and longevity.
Show hintHide hint
Think about friction and wear in mechanical interactions.
Question 6.
