The gear ratio for Top Gear is chosen to produce maximum speed, which occurs at a speed where the engine's maximum power is take up with maintaining a constant speed (on the level). For cars the overall ratio for top gear is 3.5 to 4.5 : 1.

For example, if the engine's maximum power is 100 bhp at 6300 rpm, and that power can drive the car at the maximum speed of 110 mph, the overall ratio is chosen to give 6300 rpm at 110 mph.

What do you mean by torque weight ratio of an indicating instrument?

torque/weight ratio of an instrument indicates sensitivity.if a pointer is having less weight, it will be having high torque/weight ratio so that even for a very small deflection pointer starts moving and indicates measured value.


What happens to torque when something rotates faster?

When ever you attach a gear with less teeth to a gear with more teeth, thus increasing your gear ratio and the speed in which the gear with less teeth rotate, the amount of torque in your gear combination decreases. This can also be expressed as a ratio, which happens to be the inverse of a gear ratio, meaning if your gear ratio was lets say... 1:5, the ratio for the amount of torque is 5:1, meaning you receive five times less the amount of torque, to increase your speed five times as fast.


What is the best ratio of torque and power?

there isn't a best ratio of torque and power. You must find the ratio for your application because it depends if you are going to use this as a 1/4 mile car(low torque, high bhp) or a hill climb car(high torque.low bhp). My opinion: more power of either type is better!


How do you control torque?

In case of Bikes: By increasing the gear ratio from the main transmission point. As the torque and speed ratio is inversely proportional so increasing the teeths of the rear end gear to the main engine gear will increase the torque simultaneously it will also reduce the pick up

How do you use gear ratio to increase horsepower?

It doesn't work that way. The gear ratio determines what speed the vehicle is running at when in the (torque) powerband.

How the speed of a vehicle is related to engine speed and how tha vehicle speed is affected by the engine torque and gear ratio?

A smaller number as a gear ratio means more speed. Higher ratios have higher torque and less speed. The size of the engine just determines hp and tq for that engine unless it is upgraded. The gear ratio and engine determine the vehicles top speed and acceleration. More torque means more power therefore more acceleration.
