What is the formula to calculate wheel torque at full load based on engine speed and gear ratio?
What is the formula to calculate wheel torque at full load based on engine speed and gear ratio?
- (Te + rw) / ZF6HP26 gear ratio
- Te x (rw + ZF6HP26 gear ratio)
- Te / (rw x ZF6HP26 gear ratio)
- Te x rw x (ZF6HP26 gear ratio) (correct)
How does the wheel radius affect the calculation of wheel torque in a vehicle?
How does the wheel radius affect the calculation of wheel torque in a vehicle?
- Wheel radius affects engine torque, not wheel torque
- Increasing wheel radius decreases wheel torque
- Increasing wheel radius increases wheel torque (correct)
- Wheel radius has no effect on wheel torque
