Which type of Gear meshing should be employed to transmit torque to a linear force?
- A. Epicyclical Gear
- B. Helical Gear
- C. Bevel Gear
- D. Rack and pinion
Answer: D. Rack and pinion
Explanation: A rack and pinion gear arrangement is specifically designed to convert rotational motion (torque) into linear motion (linear force). Therefore, it is the correct type of gear meshing to employ for this purpose.
