An epicyclic gear train consist of three gears A, B and C as shown in fig. The number of teeth on annular gear A is 74 and on gear C is 34. The gear B meshes with both gear A and C and it is carried on an arm F which rotates about the centre A at 25 RPM. If the gear A is fixed, Find the speed of gear B and C. 4

A cam is to be designed for a knife edge follower with the following data: i) Cam lift = 40 mm during 90º of cam rotation with simple harmonic motion. ii) Dwell for the next 30º iii) During the next 60º of cam rotation, the follower returns to its original position with simple harmonic motion. iv) Dwell during the remaining 180º Draw the profile of the cam when the line of stroke is offset 20mm from the axis of the cam shaft. The radius of the base circle of the cam is 40 mm.
