Two gears A and B are connected. A is larger than B. A counter clockwise arrow indicates T subscript small on gear B. Radius of gear B is R subscript small. An upward force F is applied on B at the connecting teeth of A and B. F = T subscript large over R subscript large.

Next, consider the FBD for the small gear.

The torque acting on the small gear is related to the torque on the large gear by the ratio of the gear radii.
