Define gear ratio and torque and explain how the experiment should behave in theory, taking into account how the motor perfoms when loaded.
What effect did gear ratio have on the ability of the device to lift weights?
How did the size sprocket affect this? Why?
The experiment used all possibles gear ratios of 4:1 to 4096:
1- Was the effect consistent? Explain any differences. What range of gear ratios gave reliable results?
Connect this to the speed & torque at the motor using DC motor characteristic in the reference below and the datasheet information on the motor used in the kit.
Discuss any problems with the equipment that may have produced inconsistent results.
