Maximum Torque Produced
What is the meaning of maximum torque produced at a specified RPM?
sandeepfunky
- Jul 2nd, 2010
Torque can be defined as the energy used to rotate the body on its own axis. RPM is revolutions per minute. so the maximum torque attained in a particular RPM is the amount of force obtained to rotate a body attached to a fixed point.

Potential Voltage
Van de graff generator produces a voltage of 100,000 V but it does not harm us, where as, a 220V in wall outlet leads to death, Why?
chris10156
- Feb 17th, 2010
Voltage is not what kills someone, it is the amps.? 4-5 amps is usually all it takes for the heart to stop and to kill someone.? 100,000 volts would really sting, but it has an amperage so little that it does not harm anything.

Absolute Zero
Why is a temperature of absolute zero unachievable?
uthipse
- Jan 26th, 2010
Absolute zero of temperature may be defined as that temperature at which the rms velocities of the gas molecules become zero which is applicable only for ideal gas. Because practically, under extreme low temperature, gases change their stage to liquid much above the abs. temp. and then to solid.

Gear Ratio
How gear ratio helps in power variation?
Nagesh M
- Jan 23rd, 2010
T1/T2=N2/N1, where T1 is no of teeth on driver; T2 is no of teeth on driven; N2 is speed of the driven gear & N1 is speed of the driver gear. The speed is inversly proportional to the torque developed by change of gears.

N1/N2 = V1/V2where, N1=no. of teeth in 1st gearN2=no. of teeth in 2nd gearV1=velocity of 1st gearV2=velocity of 2nd gearVelocity varies with change in diameter of a rotating body system. Hence power.

Car Parked in Sloped Area
Why vehicle does not move when its gear is applied though parked in slope area?
shefeerps
- Jan 22nd, 2010
In Geared Position the vehichle is connected to the piston. The gravity force on car parked in a slope is not enough to move the piston systems in the multi cylinder engines to expand or compress inside the cylinder.
