- A gear train consists of three gears meshed together (Figure 9). The middle gear is known as an idler. Show that the angular velocity of the third gear does not depend on the number of teeth of the idler gear (Gear 2).arrow_forwardConsider the curve defined by the parametric equations X = cos t, y = 3sec t on the interval 0sts"/2, Eliminate the parameter, t, to find a Cartesian equation for this curve. Use the equation editor to enter your answer in correct mathematical form.arrow_forwardFind the equation of the curve whose parametric equations are x = 1 + 4 cos 0, y = 2 + 3 sin 0, 0 € R.arrow_forward
