I have studied how gear trains work for a project I am working on, but can't find an analogous situation where the forces in the gear train oppose each other. Can someone help me?
I have a 2:1 gear ratio on a dual rack and pinion gear train connected to opposing pistons, and there is equal force on both pistons (force = 2). In order to help me understand what will happen, can you tell me in what direction will each piston move and how far?
Force -->|piston1|----------(1:2 gear train)----------|piston2|<-- Force
