Two stages planetary transmission is shown in figure. The train contains two arms and two compound planets. Gear 2 is fixed to the second arm (Arm 2). Arm 1 is free to rotate about the central axis of the system. The brakes \( \boldsymbol{B r} \) is used to adjust \( \omega_{10} \), consequently, the desired output speed \( \omega_{9} \) can be adjusted. Consider the case of full application of \( \boldsymbol{B r}\left(\omega_{10}=0\right) \). The input speed is \( \omega_{2}=1200 \mathrm{rpm} C C W \) as shown. (a) Calculate the number of degrees of freedom of the gear train. (b) Determine the speed of gear 6 (magnitude and sense). (c) Determine the output speed \( \omega_{9} \) (magnitude and sense). (d) The transmission ratio \( i_{29}=\omega_{2} / \omega_{9} \).
