Chapter 6.4, Problem 6.160P
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.
