If bar A moves right at a speed of x,how does bar B move?

Homework Equations

speed of the gear(A) * number of teeth(A) =speed of the gear(B) * number of teeth(B)

The Attempt at a Solution

as A slide to the right, so the C gear will turn Clockwise (CW);the D Anti CW ,E CW;
F anti CW so B will slide to the right.
about the spped the B will slide slower than rank A :)
thnks in advance.

hi zizodev!

yes, that's fine

quicker wold be to count the number of gears …

the are 4 circular gears, and 4 is even, so the first must go the opposite way to the fourth

(and yes, B will slide to the right, slower than A … you still need to count teeth to find how much slower! )

yes tiny-tim that's right...and the value is X/2 since the speed of the A=X.:)

yup!
