Question

The input torque on the shaft is 5 pound-feet and the output torque is 10 pound-feet. What’s the torque ratio? A. 4:1 B. 1:1 C. 3:1 D. 2:1

Answer 1

The answer is D. 2:1 since the input force is half the output force that corresponds to a 2:1 ratio of input to output.

Answer 2

Answer: D. 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

The torque ratio expresses the ratio of the output torque to the input torque.

Given : Input torque= 5 pound - feet

Output torque : 10 pound-feet

Torque ratio is given by :-

Putting in the values we get:

Torque ratio=
`(10)/(5)=(2)/(1)`

Thus the torque ratio is 2: 1
