This one of the design choices to be made by the gear designer. Usually, a simple ratio may be first decided upon, but then a gear ratio is chosen such that the lowest common multiple of the gears will be a large number.

This is so that a burr or damage on one gear tooth will be smoothed during in the next many revolutions, before the burr will repeat its position. Otherwise, the damage would result in an easily detected vibration.

Thus instead of (say) a ratio of 4:1, the designer could choose 41:11.

How do you calculate the gear ratio for a bike?

To calculate the gear ratio for a bike, divide the number of teeth on the front chainring by the number of teeth on the rear cog. This will give you the gear ratio, which represents how many times the rear wheel turns for each rotation of the pedals.

What is caused by earths rotation?

Earth's rotation causes the day and night cycle as the planet spins on its axis. It also affects the Coriolis effect, which influences global wind patterns and ocean currents. Additionally, the rotation of the Earth creates the centrifugal force that slightly flattens the planet at the poles and bulges at the equator.

How many degrees does it take to planet to travel in one hour?

Is this question asking "how many degrees does the planet rotate in one hour?" In one day (24 hours), the planet makes a full rotation of 360 degrees. So each hour it would rotate 360/24 = 15 degrees.


Why do some planet have shorter days then earth?

The length of a planet's day is determined by the speed of it's rotation on it's axis. The faster the rotation, the shorter the day. The slower the rotation, the longer the day. This is affected by many factors such as any moons the planet may have (orbital speed, rotation speed or tide lock, distance and direction of travel of the moons all should be considered), past collisions with other large bodies (planetoids and other planets and their moons), and how the stellar dust and debris were moving and colliding when the planet was formed. Some planets are tide locked to their star and have no rotation and therefore no relative "day". One side faces forever toward the blazing heat of it's star, while the other side faces an eternal frozen night.


What planet is similar to Venus?

In many ways we are (Earth). Mass and size, and thus gravity is close. But Venus has no moon, a very slow rotation, and an atmosphere that makes ours look puny. And that slow rotation means not much of a magnetic field.


What are the of the earth's rotation and revolution around the sun?

Primarily, these motions of the planet Earth bring about the phenomena of night and day, and the changing seasons. These, in turn, have many consequences.
