    B. The size of gears.

    C. The speed of the input gear and the ratio of the number of teeth on each gear.

    D. The ratio of companion gears.

  • Question 25:

    What are the potential functions of gear systems?

    A. Gears may be used to change direction in machinery and can be used to increase speed.

    B. Gears possess a single function: transmitting motion.

    C. The potential functions of gears are: changes in direction, speed changes (both increases and decreases), and motion transmission.

    D. Gears are primarily used for making changes in speed, but may also be used to instigate motion in machinery.

  • Question 26:

    If a mechanical device is reported to have an advantage of 2, what does this mean?

    A. The number "2" describes the effectiveness of the machine.

    B. This means the device allows users to complete twice the amount of work with the same amount of effort used to complete a task without assistance.

    C. The number refers to the speed of the device in question.

    D. This means that the device requires twice the amount of effort to complete the same amount of work.
