    number of teeth = 60 teeth

    center to center distance = 5 in

    Explanation:

    Given data

    diametral pitch p = 8

    no of teeth pinion n = 20

    speed s = 1200 rev / min

    gear speed Sg = 400 rev/min

    to find out

    number of teeth in gear and distance

    solution

    we will find here number of teeth in gear by formula that is

    number of teeth = p*dg ... 1

    dg = s/sg * dp

    and dp = 20/8 = 2.5

    so

    dg = s/sg * dp

    dg = 1200 / 400 * 2.5

    dg = 7.5

    so from equation 1

    number of teeth = p*dg

    number of teeth = 8 * 7.5

    number of teeth = 60 teeth

    and

    center to center distance will be calculate by formula

    center to center distance = (dp + dg) / 2

    center to center distance = (2.5 + 7.5) / 2

    center to center distance = 5 in
