Movement of the rack & pinionNote: the teeth on gears must mesh perfectly, therefore, for every<strong>to</strong>oth that the pinion rotates, one <strong>to</strong>oth of the rack will move linearly.A pinion with 24 teeth rotates at 4 rpm; how far (in meters) willthe rack move in 2 minutes? The rack has 2 teeth per cm.The solution <strong>to</strong> this problem needs some initiative and logic. There<strong>are</strong> no formal equations <strong>to</strong> solve the problem.If you know how many teeth is moved on the rack in 2 minutes, youcan easily calculate the distance in meter; thus:So, the rack will move 192 teeth in 2 minutes. At 2 teeth per cm, the following can be calculated:32
