In an epicyclic gear train an arm carries two gear. A & B having 36 & 45 teeth respectively. If the arm rotates at 15RPM in the anti clock wise direction about the center of gear. 'A' which is fixed , determine the speed of the gear B. If the gear A instead. Of being fixed makes 300RPM the clock wise direction what will be the speed of gear 'B'

Construct the profile of a cam to suit the following specification:
cam shaft diameter=40mm.
Least radius of cam=25mm
Diameter of roller=25mm
Angle of lift=120°
Lift of the follower-40mm
No. Of pauses are two of equal interval between motion. During the lift the motion is SHM. During the fall motion is UARM. The speed of cam shaft is uniform. The line of stroke is center of the cam.
