Figure 1 shows a gear train consisting of three meshed spur gears: AAA, BBB, and CCC, which forms part of the mechanical drive for a solar tracker.
Gear A A\,A rotates in an anticlockwise direction. Gear A A\,A and Gear C C\,C both have exactly 48 teeth, while the intermediate idler Gear B B\,B has 18 teeth.
State how the rotational speed and the direction of rotation of Gear C C\,C compare with those of Gear AAA.
