Theory of Machines Miscellaneous

Direction: A planetary gear train has four gears and one carrier. Angular velocities of the gears are ω1, ω2, ω3, and ω4, respectively. The carrier rotates with angular velocity ω5

  1. For ω1 = 60 rpm clockwise (cw) when viewed from the left, what is the angular velocity of the carrier and its direction. so that Gear 4 rotates in counter clockwise (ccw) direction at twice the angular velocity of Gear 1 when viewed from the left?
    1. 130 rpm, cw
    2. 223 rpm, ccw
    3. 256 rpm, cw
    4. 156 rpm, ccw
Correct Option: D

156 rpm, ccw
