Hi! My homework question is... A pinion gear with 10 teeth is driving a spur gear with 40 teeth.
The spur gear is rotating at 160 rpm, What is the speed of the pinion gear?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R%5Bpinion%5D%2AT%5Bpinion%5D = R%5Bspur%5D%2AT%5Bspur%5D,


where R is rpm and T is number of teef.


If so, then R%5Bpinion%5D%2A10 = 160%2A40.


Solve for R%5Bpinion%5D.
