Answer:
False
Explanation:
The relation between the pressure angle and the number of teeth on a pinion is given by
[tex]T_n = \frac{2 A_w}{G[\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{G}(\frac{1}{G} +2 }) sin^2\alpha -1]}[/tex]
Here
[tex]T_n =[/tex] minimum number of teeth on a pinion to avoid interference
[tex]A_w =[/tex] Multiplication factor for standard addendum for the wheel
G represents the gear ratio. It is also known as the velocity ratio
[tex]sin \alpha =[/tex] Pressure angle or angle of obliquity
As we can see from this relation, that the pressure angle is inversely proportional to the number of teeth on a pinion. Thus, if the pressure angle is increased the number of teeth must decrease according to the relation represented above.
Hence, the given statement is false.
