🔍 Key Concepts

• Fluid friction due to churning in oil-lubricated bearings • Difference between too much oil (churning losses) and too little oil (metal-to-metal contact) • Purpose of maintaining a proper lubricating film between moving surfaces

💭 Think About

• Which option would reduce the amount of oil being violently stirred by the rotating balls, without letting the metal surfaces touch? • Think about what happens to temperature and wear if you have an almost dry bearing versus one completely flooded with oil. • Which choice best describes the ideal lubrication condition where the balls roll on oil rather than on metal?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option avoids excessive oil volume that causes churning. • Check which choice still maintains separation between metal surfaces to prevent wear. • Eliminate any option that would likely cause overheating from lack of lubrication or from excessive oil stirring.
