- A two-stage gear train consists of four gears meshed together (Figure 10). The second and third gears are attached, so that they share the same angular velocity (2=4). Find a formula giving the angular velocity of the fourth gear, 2, in terms of 1 and the values of n1,n2,n3andn4.arrow_forwardObject A is travelling along a circle of radius 2, and Object B is travelling along a circle of radius 5. The object have the same angular speed. Do the objects have the same linear speed? If not, which object has the greater linear speed?arrow_forward
