5. Differentiate between simple gear train and compound gear train.

In an epicyclic gear train, an arm carries two gears A and B having 36 and 45 teeth respectively. If the arm rotates at 150 rpm in the anticlockwise direction about the centre of the gear A which is fixed, determine the speed of gear B. If the gear A instead of being fixed, makes 300 rpm in the clockwise direction, what will be the speed of gear 2x7=14
