  1. One tooth of a gear having 4 module and 32 teeth is shown in the figure. Assume that the gear tooth and the corresponding tooth space make equal intercepts on the pitch circumference. The dimensions a and b, respectively, are closest to.
    1. 6.08 mm, 4 mm
    2. 6.48 mm, 4.2 mm
    3. 6.28 mm, 4.3 mm
    4. 6.28 mm, 4.1 mm
Correct Option: D

a ≃
πD
.....(D = mZ)
2Z

a ≃
3.14 × m
= 6.28
2

⇒ b = addendum + PR
The addendum = module for standard addendum

Now φ =
360°
= 2.8°
32 × 4

∴ OP = 64 cosφ = 63.9
⇒ b = m + PR = 4 + (64 – 63.9)
= 4.1 mm
