Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2022 SET-1 > Gear Trains
A schematic of an epicyclic gear train is shown in the figure. The sun (gear 1) and
planet (gear 2) are external, and the ring gear (gear 3) is internal. Gear 1, gear 3 and
arm OP are pivoted to the ground at O. Gear 2 is carried on the arm OP via the pivot
joint at P, and is in mesh with the other two gears. Gear 2 has 20 teeth and gear 3
has 80 teeth. If gear 1 is kept fixed at 0 rpm and gear 3 rotates at 900 rpm counter
clockwise (ccw), the magnitude of angular velocity of arm OP is __________rpm
(in integer)


Correct : 225
