Gears and Rotation

Also called

gears

What to look for

  • Teeth transfer turning motion between touching gears.
  • Two meshing external gears turn in opposite directions.
  • Here the smaller gear turns twice per turn of the larger gear.

Try this

If the large gear turns three times, how many turns does the small gear make?
