enjoy driving it and realized that there was some
problem with the clutch. So he consulted the mechanic
at his tractor firm , who pointed but that Ferrari was
using the same clutch that was used in their tractors.
Frustrated in hearing this X went to Enzo Ferrari and
told him about this. Mr.Ferrari on the other hand didn't
take it seriously and neglected him by saying a farmer
like him wasn’t worth for driving a Ferrari.

founder’s name, and produces distinctive yellow-
and-black engineering vehicles, "Backhoes" and
diesel engines.
The word “X" is sometimes used colloquially as a
generic description for any such type of
engineering vehicle, and now appears in the
Oxford English Dictionary, although it is still held
as a trademark.

construction, industry, agriculture and military
engineering and in 2012 the company’s turnover

12. Answer 5
Differential
A differential is a particular type of simple planetary
gear train that has the property that the angular
velocity of its carrier is the average of the angular
velocities of its sun and annular gears. This is
accomplished by packaging the gear train so it has a
fixed carrier train ratio R = -1, which means the gears
corresponding to the sun and annular gears are the
same size. This can be done by engaging the planet
gears of two identical and coaxial epicyclic gear
trains to form a spur gear differential. Another
approach is to use bevel gears for the sun and annular
gears and a bevel gear as the planet, which is known
as a bevel gear differential.
