Q1. Create the planetary gear system depicted below. Case 1 : Keep the sun (larger gear) stationary. Rotate the arm with respect to the sun at 1degree per second clockwise for 360 seconds Rotate the sun at 0.5 degrees per second clockwise for 360 seconds while rotating the arm with respect to the sun at 1degree per second clockwise for 360 seconds

Case 2 :

Q2. Create the pair of bevel gears shown below (the dimensions are given in millimetres). Rotate the bottom gear at one degree per second for 360 degrees and demonstrate the simulation.
