Question

You have five gears meshed to each other running in a line. the first gear z=100, second gear z=50, third gear z=200, fourth gear z=150 and fifth gear z=200. the first gear turns clockwise at 100 revolutions per minute. what direction will gear number 5 run and at what speed?

Answer 1

Answer:

50 rpm clockwise

Step-by-step explanation:

100/50 × 50/200 × 200/150 × 150/200 = 0.5

In an odd number of gears, the first and last rotate inthe same direction.

100 rpm × 0.5 = 50 rpm

Answer: 50 rpm clockwise
