In the planetary gear system shown, the radius of the central gear A is a= 18 mm, the radius of each planetary gear is b , and the radius of the outer gear E is (a + 2b). A clockwise couple with a magnitude of MA = 10 N.m is applied to the central gear A and a counterclockwise couple with a magnitude of MS= 50 N.m is applied to the spider BCD . If the system is to be in equilibrium, determine (a) the required radius b of the planetary gears, (b) the magnitude ME of the couple that must be applied to the outer gear E.
