The carrier (link 1) is driven by a 3600 rpm electric motor and has a sun gear (gear 2) fixed with 12 teeth meshing with three equal planet gears (gears 3, 4, 5) with 18 teeth each spaced 120 degrees apart. The ring gear (gear 6) serves as the output. The number of teeth on the ring gear is 48. The rotational velocities are: carrier (link 1) = 3600 rpm CW, sun gear (gear 2) = 0 rpm, planet gears (gears 3, 4, 5) = 6000 rpm CW, ring gear (gear 6) = 4500 rpm CW.

Figure below shows an epicyclic gear train. The carrier (link 1) is driven by an electric motor rated at 3600 rpm, clockwise. The sun (gear 2) is fixed and has 12 teeth. The sun meshes with three planet gears (gear 3, gear 4 and gear 5) of equal size. The planet gears are spaced at an angular distance of 120 between each other and have 18 teeth each. The ring (gear 6) serves as the output from the train. All the gears have the same module. i. ii.
Determine the number of teeth of the ring (gear 6),
Determine the rotational velocity of all members of this gear train. (Ans: N6 = 48; 1 = 3600 rpm CW, 2 = 0, 3 = 4 = 5 = 6000 rpm CW, 6 = 4500 rpm CW)
