Question

The input pinion of a gear pair with a gear ratio of 3 has a module of 2.5 mm/ tooth and pitch diameter of 11 cm. How many teeth are on the mated gear if it is correctly sized to ensure that the gear set rotates without slipping?

a. 42
b. 83
c. 132
d. 15

Answer 1

When more force is applied through gear A, torque is created, causing gear B's angular velocity to change. It increases in magnitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

When more force is applied through gear A, torque is created, causing gear B to experience a change in angular velocity. The direction of rotation of gear B remains the same as before, but the magnitude of its angular velocity changes.

In this case, since gear A turns clockwise, gear B turns counterclockwise. When more force is applied through gear A, gear B experiences an increase in magnitude of its angular velocity. This means that gear B rotates faster.

Therefore, the correct answer is a. It increases in magnitude.
