A sprocket with 200 teeth is the driver of a coal conveyer belt that operates at 60 rpm. You are to fit a new driven sprocket that must operate at 300 rpm or faster to maintain the correct velocity of the coal belt. Formula: Tix N₁ = T₂ x N₂ Where: Ti is the number of teeth the driver. N is the speed (in revolutions per minute) of the driver. T₂ is the number of teeth of the driven. Na is the speed (in revolutions per minute) of the driven. Calculate the number of teeth required for the driven sprocket.

Question
A sprocket with 200 teeth is the driver of a coal conveyer belt that operates at 60 rpm.
You are to fit a new driven sprocket that must operate at 300 rpm or faster to
maintain the correct velocity of the coal belt.
Formula: T₁ x N₁ = T2 x Nz
Where: Ti is the number of teeth the driver.
Ni is the speed (in revolutions per minute) of the driver.
Ta is the number of teeth of the driven.
N₂ is the speed (in revolutions per minute) of the driven.
Calculate the number of teeth required for the driven sprocket.
