83. When positive torque is applied to the torquemeter assembly, the

Explanation

When positive torque is applied to the torquemeter assembly, the reference pulse leads the torque pulse. This means that the reference pulse occurs before the torque pulse in the system. This can be explained by the fact that the reference pulse is used as a standard or a set point for the torque pulse to follow. The torque pulse is generated in response to the applied torque, and it lags behind the reference pulse in time.
