Question
Examine the diagram of a gear set.
- What is the Diametral Pitch of these gears?
- What is the Gear Ratio?
- What will be the output torque of the Driven Gear?
- What will be the output speed of the Driven Gear?

Transcribed Image Text:This diagram illustrates a gear system consisting of a driver gear and a driven gear.
**Driver Gear:**
- The driver gear has a pitch diameter of 4.0 inches.
- It operates at a speed of 1800 revolutions per minute (rpm).
- The torque applied is 30 inch-pounds (in-lbs).
- The rotation is indicated by a clockwise arrow.
**Driven Gear:**
- The driven gear has a pitch diameter of 12.0 inches.
- The rotation is indicated by a counter-clockwise arrow.
**Gear Relationship:**
- The driver gear, being smaller, rotates at a higher speed and transmits power to the larger driven gear, which will rotate at a reduced speed due to the gear ratio determined by the pitch diameters.
- The size difference between the gears indicates a reduction in speed but an increase in torque for the driven gear compared to the driver gear.
