Re: Gearbox -physics related question

I'm going to caution you to, as you start to think more about how these different concepts are related, be sure that you're using appropriate units to describe each of the elements present in your equations. If an equation involves a force, use newtons (or lbf.), etc. You've got an awful jumble of crossed wires to start with here, describing force in terms of power or torque and acceleration with velocity.

You'll help us to understand your questions better and you'll understand our explanations more because we'll all be speaking the same language, so to speak.
