← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when medieval saqiya gears experience excessive loading?
A)Water flow surges intermittently
B)Gear tooth shear accumulates rapidly✓
C)Bearing friction decreases sharply
D)Structural resonance shifts unexpectedly
💡 Explanation
Increased load dramatically raises contact stress, triggering gear tooth shear because elastic limits are surpassed. Therefore, teeth break, rather than bearings failing immediately, because the gear material is typically weaker than well-lubricated bearing surfaces.
