History

Which constraint limited practical gear ratios achievable by medieval Islamic gear systems?

A)Material fatigue exceeding yield strength
B)Fabrication precision controlling cyclic stresses
C)Gear interlocking causing torsional resonance
D)Involute profiles creating friction hotspots

💡 Explanation

Fabrication precision limited gear ratios because manufacturing inaccuracies affected teeth meshing via kinematic constraint in algebra. The outcome was higher friction; therefore extreme ratios were complex, rather than due to material defects or torsional effects neglected algebra solutions.
