Problem:
For the gear train sketched in the given figure, compute the output speed and the direction of
rotation of the output shaft if the input shaft rotates at 6900 rpm counter-clockwise.

input D
NA = 18
A E NB = 82
I NC = 17
output
ND = 64
NE = 20
NF = 110
NG = 18
H NH = 18
C NI = 38
B G

Solution:
TV =( VR AB )( VR CD ) ( VR EF ) ( VR GH ) ( VR HI )

TV = ( 8218 )( 6417 )( 110 18 38

20 18 )( 18 )

TV =199.13
n A 6900 rpm
nG = =
TV 199.13
nG =34.65 rpm, CW
