Problema Solution

Calculate the angular speed (w1) of a gear with a 3-inch radius which is connected (meshed) with a gear that has a 6-inch radius and an angular speed of 250 deg/sec

Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'x' represent the angular speed:

3x=6*250

x=500

The 3-inch radius angular speed would be 500 deg/sec.
