The upper half of a compound Epicyclic gearset is shown in Figure, with input shaft I rotating at a constant speed of 700 rpm in a clockwise direction and generating 12 kW input power. The Annulus wheel A2 is coupled to an auxiliary gear N on shaft X and forms a compound wheel with gear O. The Annulus A1 rotates in a counter-clockwise direction at a speed of 5,300 rpm. Calculate the following using this condition: Number of gear teeth: P1 = 30 , A1 = 120 P2 = 50 , A2 = 140 N = 60 , O = 120 a) The output shaft O (NO), shaft X (NX), and gear ratio speed and direction (n). b) Calculate the speed and direction of output shaft O (NO), shaft X (NX), and gear ratio if Annulus wheel A1 is locked (n). c) The braking torque (Tb) that must be applied to Annulus wheel A1 to keep it stationary (magnitude and direction), assuming gear transmission efficiency of 90%.
