  1. In order to test the efficiency of reducer gear train 1 kW input was given at the input end at a speed of 1440 rpm and at the output end the measured torque was 56.36 Nm. If the ratio of speed reduction in this unit is 10: 1, the efficiency is about
    1. 78%
    2. 85%
    3. 63%
    4. 96%
Correct Option: B

Speed reduction = 10: 1

Output speed =
1440
= 144 rpm
10

Output Torque = T.ω = 56.36 ×
2π × 144
= 849.88 N - m
60

% efficiency =
Output
× 100
Input

=
849.88
× 100 = 85 %(Approximately)
1000
