Modeling Compound Gear Trains

An exploration of compound gear trains including separation forces and friction

You are now following this Submission

This live script has a series of questions prompting students to explore compound gear trains. It starts simply with an assumption of 100% efficiency. Subsequent questions explore losses through friction. Linear algebra is used to deal with the coupling among equations in the model.
