A gear ratio describes the relationship between two meshed gears, specifically the ratio of their rotations. It indicates how many times the driven (grey) gear rotates for every one rotation of the driving (blue) gear. This ratio is determined by comparing the number of teeth on each gear. 

  • Driving Gear: The gear that receives the input force and starts the rotation. 

  • Driven Gear: The gear that receives the rotation from the driving gear and transmits it to the next stage.

  • Ratio: Expressed as a ratio (e.g., 3:1), it means the driving gear needs to rotate three times for the driven gear to complete one full rotation. 

If the driving gear has 10 teeth and the driven gear has 40 teeth, how many times does the driving gear rotate to complete one revolution of the driven gear?

a)

12

b)

8

c)

4

d)

16

Jane starts work at 9am in the morning. It takes her ten minutes to get her apron, work boots and goggles on. Five minutes later Jane speaks to her boss, picked up the engineering drawings and her job sheet. The metal took 20 minutes to cut yesterday. Jane has picked up the metal and it has take her 10 minutes to mark it all out. She loads it into the machine for the first operation. This takes 45 minutes. The second operation takes 25 minutes. Jane takes a break in between the two operations for 15 minutes. After the second operation jane then has to clean the part up which takes her 5 minutes. She then sends it to dispatch to package up and label the part.

At ten o'clock the client phones and asks whatthe earliest time the part can be collected? Is it...

a)

11.10am

b)

10:50am

c)

12:45

d)

11:30
