A 75-tooth spur gear is in mesh with a 31-tooth pinion. The

gears have a diametral pitch
of 3 teeth/in, and a pressure angle of phi = 25°. The gears
transmit 40 HP at 350 pinion
rpm. Find the factors

Final answer:

When more force is applied through gear A, the angular velocity of gear B decreases in magnitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angular velocity is the rate at which an object rotates around a fixed axis. When more force is applied through gear A, it creates a larger torque. Torque is the rotational equivalent of force and is responsible for changes in angular velocity. In this case, since gear B turns counterclockwise, the increase in torque from gear A will cause gear B to rotate more slowly, resulting in a decrease in angular velocity.
