The given planetary gear system is composed of 3 Planetary Gears C, Ring Gear E and Sun Gear F. It is used to transmit power from the Carrier Shaft A to the Driving Shaft G, as shown. Ring Gear E is stationary in the given scenario and only holds the planetary gears in place without exerting additional torque. Driving Shaft G is attached to Sun Gear F. The allowable shearing stress for each shaft ist. If the frequency of the Carrier Shaft A is fx, determine the maximum power (in kilowatts) that can be transmitted from Carrier Shaft A to the Driving Shaft G Hint: The torque applied at Carrier Shaft A is shared equally by each Planetary Shaft D. The analysis of one Planetary Gear C applies to the two other Planetary Gears C.
