The equation for gear ratio

1 answer:

4 0

In a gear train with two gears, the gear ratio is defined as follows
$R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B}$

where $\omega _A$ is the angular velocity of the input gear while $\omega _B$ is the angular velocity of the output gear.

This can be rewritten as a function of the number of teeth of the gears. In fact, the angular velocity of a gear is inversely proportional to the radius r of the gear:
$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$
But the radius is proportional to the number of teeth N of the gear. Therefore we can rewrite the gear ratio also as
$R= \frac{\omega _A}{\omega _B} = \frac{r_B}{r_A} = \frac{N_B}{N_A}$

In a race, you run 3000 meters east in 21 minutes. What is your velocity in km/min?

STALIN [3.7K]

velocity = distance / time v= d/t firstly you change 3000 m into km distance D = 3000/1000 = 3 km secondly time t = 21 min using velocity formula v = d/t = 3 km/21min =0.142km/min

Vector vector b has x, y, and z components of 4.00, 4.00, and 2.00 units, respectively. calculate the magnitude of vector

Sav [38]

Good morning.

We see that $\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}} = \mathsf{(4.00, \ 4.00, \ 2.00)}$

The magnitude(norm, to be precise) can be calculated the following way:

$\star \ \boxed{\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}=(x, y,z)\Rightarrow ||\overset{\to}{a}|| = \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}}}$

Now the calculus is trivial:

$\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b} \| =\sqrt{4^2+4^2+2^2} =\sqrt{16+16+4}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\|=\sqrt{36}}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\| = 6.00 \ u}}$

<h3>What is Archimedes' principle?</h3>

According to Archimedes' principle, the weight of the fluid that the body displaces is equal to the upward buoyant force that is applied to a body submerged in a fluid, whether fully or partially. The Archimedes' principle is a fundamental physical law in fluid mechanics. It was created by Syracuse's Archimedes.

According to Archimedes' principle, a body submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force proportional to the weight of the fluid that has been displaced. One of the prerequisites for equilibrium is this. We believe that the buoyancy force, also known as the centre of buoyancy, is situated in the middle of the submerged hull.

From Archimedes' principle, we get

$\rightarrow L^3 \rho_{\text {Wood }} &=L^2 d \rho_{\text {Water }} \\$
