Velocity Ratio (VR) is a concept from machines in physics.
Definition
Velocity Ratio is the ratio of the distance moved by the effort to the distance moved by the load.
VR = frac{text{Distance moved by effort}}{text{Distance moved by load}}
Explanation
It shows how many times the effort moves compared to the load in a machine.
For example:
- If the effort moves 4 m
- And the load moves 1 m
VR = frac{4}{1} = 4
So the velocity ratio = 4.
Simple Meaning
Velocity ratio tells us how much the machine multiplies the movement.
Important
- It does not depend on friction
- It depends only on the design of the machine
boxed{VR = frac{text{distance moved by effort}}{text{distance moved by load}}}
