1º) Calculate the force needed to lift a load of 6000 kg. What resistance can
you lift if you apply a force of 1000kg?

2º) Calculate the number of teeth that the drive wheel (small gear) must have using
the data given below. If the drive wheel turns anticlockwise, in what direction does
the big gear turn?
Data: N1=1000 rpm, N2=200 rpm, Z2=200 teeth.

3º) Calculate the output speed of the transmission system and

write in which direction each wheel rotates. Data: N1=1000 rpm;
Z1=25;Z2=10;D1=30;D2=10

150 Kg 150 Hg
4º) The lever in this drawing must be balanced so calculate where the fulcrum must
be, knowing that the lever is 10 meters long.

5º) A gear train is usually made up of two or more gears. The driver in this example is gear
‘A’. If a motor turns gear ‘A’ in an anticlockwise direction, which direction does gear ‘B’
turn? Which direction does gear ‘C’’ turn? Does gear ‘C’ revolve faster or slower than gear
’A? Explain your answer with the correct formula.

Data: Gear A y Gear C are equals and Gear B is the biggest.
