Calculation should include
- determining gear ratios (i.e., the ratio of drive to driven members) and pulley speeds.
- comparing numbers to determine whether ratios are over- or under-driven.
Process/Skill Questions:
- In what situations is it necessary to determine gear ratios?
- How is it determined that ratios are over-driven? Under-driven?
- What are the consequences of miscalculating pulley speeds?
