 Example 3

Angular velocity of arm C is 150 rpm (c.w) and

Angular velocity of gear 5 is 50 rpm (c.w).
Find angular velocity of gear 2.

Equation Method For Velocity Analysis
From given angular velocities and teeth numbers
 Example 4
(using tabular method)
In an epicyclic gear train, the arm A is fixed to shaft S and gear F with
135 teeth is separately driven. If the arm A rotates at 240 rpm (cw) and
the gear F at 120 rpm (cw). The gear B having 90 teeth rotates freely
on shaft S.
Find (a) Speed of gear B and (b) number of teeth on gear C
