The turning moment diagram for a four stroke gas engine may be assumed for simplicity to be represented by four triangles, the areas of which from the line of zero pressure are as follows:
Suction stroke=0.45×10-3 m2; Compression stroke=1.7× 10-3 m2; Expansion stroke=6.8 × 10-3 m2; Exhaust stroke=0.65×10-3 m2 of area represents 3 MN-m of energy.

An over drive for a vehicle consists of an epicyclic gear train as shown in the figure, with compound plantes B-C. B has 15 teeth and meshes with an annulus A which has 60 teeth. C has 20 teeth and meshes with the sunwheel D which is fixed. The annulus is keyed to the propeller shaft Y which rotates at 740 rad/sec. The spider which carries the pins upon which the planets revolve, is driven directly from main gear box by shaft X, this shaft being relatively free to rotate with respect to wheel D. Find the speed of shaft X, when all the teeth have the same module.
