Changing Variables in a Table: Solving Unknown Formulas

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the challenge of determining unknown variable values in a table related to differential ratios from a transmission system. The known variables are v1: 1.833, v2: 15.89, and v3: 53/9, which yield specific percentages for differential ratios. The user seeks to change v3 to 51/9 and requires assistance in calculating the corresponding percentage values. The consensus is that understanding the physical system is crucial for deriving the necessary formulas and values.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differential ratios in mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with mathematical modeling techniques
  • Knowledge of variable manipulation in equations
  • Basic principles of mechanical engineering
NEXT STEPS

  • Learn about differential ratios and their applications in engineering
  • Explore tools for solving equations with unknown variables
  • Investigate physical systems related to transmission mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, data analysts working with engineering data, and anyone involved in optimizing transmission systems will benefit from this discussion.

problem:

have a table (but not the one I need) with three 3 variables (one of these changing) and known answer for these. I need to change one variable but I do not know the formula. Is there any way to figure this out:

known table:
v1: 1,833
v2: 15,89
v3: 53/9

this gives me a table with percentages as follows (these are differential ratios from a transmission and the answers are percentages of how two axles differ from each other):

1%=1,274, 2%=1,262, 3%=1,249, 4%=1,237, 5%=1,225, 6%=1,214, 7%=1,203

I need to change v3 to 51/9 and figure out the values for each percentage.

any help would be highly appreciated.

I don't see any way to predict what a different table would be from the information you gave using only mathematics. A person would have to understand the physical system that the table represents. This sounds like a mechanical engineering question.
