A gear train shown in the figure consists of gears $P, Q, R,$ and $S$. Gear $Q$ and gear $R$ are mounted on the same shaft. All the gears are mounted on parallel shafts and the number of teeth of $P, Q, R$ and $S$ are $24, 45, 30,$ and $80$, respectively. Gear $P$ is rotating at $400$ rpm. The speed (in rpm) of the gear $S$ is __________.
A spur pinion of pitch diameter $50$ $mm$ rotates at $200$ $rad/s$ and transmits $3 kW$ power. The pressure angle of the tooth of the pinion is $20^\circ$. Assuming that only one pair of the teeth is in contact, the total force (in newton) exerted by a tooth of the pinion on the tooth on a mating gear is _______
In an epicyclic gear train, shown in the figure, the outer ring gear is fixed, while the sun gear rotates counterclockwise at $100$ rpm. Let the number of teeth on the sun, planet and outer gears to be $50, 25$ and $100$, respectively. The ratio of magnitudes of angular velocity of the planet gear to the angular velocity of the carrier arm is ________.
