Q:

The path of contact of two gears in a mesh is 50 mm and the pressure angle is 45°. The module is 8 mm. Find the contact ratio of these two gears.

A) 4.2 B) 1.9
C) 3.7 D) 2.8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2.8

Explanation: Arc of contact = Path of contact/cos ? = 50/cos 45° = 70.71 mm
Contact ratio = Arc of contact/ Circular pitch = Arc of contact / ?m = 70.71/(?x8) = 2.8.
