outside lock angle for pure rolling, and (ii) turning circle radius for outer
front wheel and inner rear wheel.

7. In planetary gear assemble (fig 7.3) sun gear has 36 teeth and ring gear has 84
teeth. If the driven (input) member rotates at 2000 rpm CLOCKWISE.
Determine the speed of output components in reduction, direct drive, reverse

9. Refer Fig. 7.2.(page -151 and171,K.M GUPTA,Chapter-7,Numerical

Problem) The input sun gear has 32 teeth and the planet gear consists of 20
teeth. If all the gears are of the same pitch, determine the reduction gear ratio
when (a) the sun gear is fixed, (b) the annulus is fixed, and (c) arm is fixed.
The pitch diameters of gear wheels are proportional to the number of teeth on
them.

10. Refer Fig. 7.3 .(page -152 and 171,K.M GUPTA,Chapter-7,Numerical

Problem) in which the sun gear contains 32 teeth and each planet pinion is of 24
teeth. Calculate the speed of the output members in reduction, direct drive,
reverse and overdrive when the input members rotate at 1600rpm
anticlockwise.

front and rear wheel tracks are 1400 mm each. If the inside lock angle is 43,
determine (i) the correct outside lock angle, and (ii) maximum and minimum
turning circle radius.

12. A car having a wheelbase of 2.44 m and pivot centres 1.12 m apart has a
track off 1.22 m between centres of tyres tread if the angle of lock is 30 and
the width of tyre 114mm ; determine the minimum radius of outer turning
circle.

13. Distance between the king-pins of a car is 1300 mm. The track arms are
152.5 mm long and the length of track rod is 1.2 m .For a track of 1.42 m and a
wheelbase of 2.85 m. Find the radius of curvature of the path followed by the
rear side front wheel at which correct steering is obtained. The car is turning to
the right.

14. A car has pivot pins 1140 mm apart, the length of each track arm is 152.5
mm and the track rod is behind the axle. Determine the length of track rod for
true rolling of all wheels, when the inner wheel stub axle is at 550 to the centre
line of the car. The wheelbase is 2. 53m.
