Study Notes
Gear and Pulley Systems
- RPM stands for Revolutions per Minute, a unit of measurement for the rotational speed of a shaft or other rotating component.
- Turing force, also known as rotational force, is referred to as Torque.
- The gear that is being turned by a motor or other power source is called the Driven Gear.
