Homework Statement


A gear ratio is req from A/D of 1:100 and that it will be necessary to redesign D so that it has 100 teeth. Determine:
a)number of teeth on c
b)number of teeth on planet gears.

This followed on from another question.
An epicyclic gear c is the annulus and is fixed. The input A rotates at 60rpm, torque of 10Nm. Efficiency 80%.
Teeth on td=60
Teeth on tb=130

Homework Equations


I can't see how to work out teeth using tc=td+2tb when there are two unknowns.
Any help will be gratefully recieved.
Thanks
