q8: (gearing) (15%) when a motor (with motor rotator inertia jm) is driving a load (with inertia jl) through a gearhead with a gear ratio r. (a) to maximize the acceleration of the load, what gear ratio, r, should we use? (b) to maximize the acceleration of the motor shaft itself, what gear ratio, r, should we use? larger, equal or less than the answer provided in (a)? (c) to minimize the power going into the motor inertia, what gear ratio, r, should we use? larger, equal or less than the answer provided in (a)?
