AI Thread Summary
For a gear set with a 3.2:1 gear ratio, the torque ratio is 1:3.2, meaning the output shaft produces 3.2 times the torque of the input shaft for every rotation. This relationship indicates that as the input shaft turns 3.2 times, the output shaft completes one full rotation. The calculation of the torque ratio is derived directly from the gear ratio. It's important to note that while torque increases, power remains constant, minus any losses in the drivetrain. Understanding this relationship is crucial for automotive applications.

Here is my question that I haven't been able to solve.
What would the torque ratio be for a set of gears with a gear ratio of 3.2:1?
And how did you come up with the answer?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
what does a gear ratio mean?
If you apply a torque to a set of gears how does the gear ratio effect that?
 
This is my question.Two gears have a turning ratio of 3.2:1 What is there torque ratio ?
.32:1
1:3.2
3.2:1
32.0:1
And how would you calculate that??
 
By the way I am a 55 year old Automotive service tech so I don't have homework. Just trying to resolve a issue.
 
If the gear ratio is 3.2:1, then the torque ratio is 1:3.2. The output shaft will have 3.2 times the torque of the input shaft if the input shaft rotates 3.2 times every time the output shaft rotates 1 time. Power remains the same except for drivetrain losses.
 
Thank you for your time Jeff
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
