The epicyclic gear train consists of the sun gear 𝐴 which is in mesh
with the planet gear 𝐵. This gear has an inner hub 𝐶 which is fixed
to 𝐵 and in mesh with the fixed ring gear 𝑅. If the connecting link
𝐷𝐸 pinned to 𝐵 and 𝐶 is rotating at 𝜔𝐷𝐸 = 18 rad/s about the pin
at 𝐸, determine the angular velocities of the planet and sun gears.

𝜔𝐵 = 90 rad/s ↻
𝜔𝐴 = 180 rad/s ↺

Rod 𝐴𝐵 is rotating with an angular velocity of 𝜔𝐴𝐵 =
60 rad/s. Determine the velocity of the slider 𝐶 at the instant
𝜃 = 60° and 𝜙 = 45°. Also, sketch the position of bar 𝐵𝐶
when 𝜃 = 30°, 60° and 90° to show its general plane motion.

𝑣𝐶 = 24.6 m/s ↓

At the instant shown, the truck is travelling to the right
at 3 m/s, while the pipe is rolling counterclockwise at
an angular velocity 𝜔 = 8 rad/s without slipping at 𝐵.
Determine the velocity of the pipe’s centre 𝐺.

𝑣𝐺 = 9 m/s ←

The planetary gear system is used in an automatic transmission for an
automobile. By locking or releasing certain gears, it has the advantage of
operating the car at different speeds. Consider the case where the ring gear
𝑅 is held fixed, 𝜔𝑅 = 0, and the sun gear 𝑆 is rotating at 𝜔𝑆 = 5 rad/s.
Determine the angular velocity of each of the planet gears 𝑃 and shaft 𝐴.

𝜔𝑃 = 5 rad/s ↻
𝜔𝐴 = 1.67 rad/s ↺
