Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between the torques and the ratio of the number of teeth in a gear system?

  • The torques are independent of the ratio of the number of teeth
  • The torques are proportional to the square of the ratio of the number of teeth
  • The torques are directly proportional to the ratio of the number of teeth (correct)
  • The torques are inversely proportional to the ratio of the number of teeth

What is the analogous quantity to voltage in a transformer in a gear system?

  • Mechanical impedance
  • Angular displacement
  • Rotational energy

How are rotational mechanical impedances reflected through gear trains?

  • By multiplying the mechanical impedance by the ratio of the number of teeth (correct)
  • By adding the mechanical impedance to the ratio of the number of teeth
  • By dividing the mechanical impedance by the ratio of the number of teeth
  • By subtracting the mechanical impedance from the ratio of the number of teeth
