Question: A new simple gear train shown in Figure below has an input shaft ( 1 ) that requires 1 4 kW to rotate at 1

A new simple gear train shown in Figure below has an input shaft (1) that requires 14 kW to rotate at 1,800 revolutions per minute (RPM). The teeth of the gears are given as follows: A=21 teeth, B=41 teeth, C=20,D=37 teeth, E=18 teeth and F=33 teeth.
Calculate the speed ratio between shafts 1 and 2. What is the angular speed and torque of shaft 2?
Calculate the speed ratio between shaft 1 and shaft 3. What is the angular speed and torque of shaft 3?
Calculate the speed ratio between shaft 1 and shaft 4. What is the angular speed and torque of shaft 4?
Assume the power efficiency of the whole train gear is reduced to 69.6% due to mechanical causes, to maintain the current output torque, angular speed and output power, calculate the actual input power in this scenario.
