Fig.15.18 shows an epicyclic speed reduction gear. The driving shaft is attached to arm E. The arm carries a pin on which the compound gear B, C is free to revolve. The gear A is keyed to the driven shaft and gear D is a fixed gear, z = 24, z=27, z = 30 and z = 21. Determine (a) speed of driven shaft if driving shaft is rotating at 900 rpm counter-clockwise and (b) resisting torque on driven shaft and holding torque on gear D, if the input torque to driving shaft is 15 Nm.
