The portion of path of contact from the beginning of contact to the pitch point is called _______ Correct Answer path of approach
Path of approach is the portion of path of contact from the beginning of contact to the pitch point. It is given by the formula (Ra2 – R2cos2 φ)0.5 – Rsinφ; where Ra is the radius of addendum of the larger gear, R is the radius of the larger gear and φ is the pressure angle between the two gears.
