What is meant by a Grashof mechanism? 2. What is meant by instantaneous center of rotation? How do we know the number of instantaneous centers in a mechanism? 3. What is the significance of Chebychev spacing in linkage synthesis? 4. How do you classify cam followers according to shape? 5. Define pressure angle of a gear. PART B (Answer All Questions) (5x5) (3x5)

6. What are straight line mechanisms? Describe one type of exact straight line motion mechanism with the help of a sketch. 7. State and prove Arohnold Kennedys theorem. 8. Explain the overlay method of graphical synthesis. 9. Deduce the expressions for the velocity and acceleration of a cam follower when it moves with simple harmonic motion. 10. State and derive the law of gearing. PART C Module I 11. Explain the different inversions of the slider crank mechanism. Or 12. A crank rocker linkage has a 100mm frame, a 25mm crank, a 90mm coupler, and a 75mm rocker. Draw the linkage and find the (12x5)

maximum and minimum values of transmission angle .Locate the both toggle positions and record the swing angle of the rocker. Module II 13. Find the velocities of points B, C, and D of the double slider mechanism shown in figure if crank rotates at 42 rad/s ccw. Also find the acceleration of the point D.

Or 14. What is meant by Coriolis component of acceleration? Derive the expression for the same. Module III 15. Synthesize a function generator to solve the equation y = 1/x, 1< x < 2 using three precision points. Or 16. a) Which are the different steps in kinematic synthesis? (6)

b) Draw a crank rocker to give 45 rocker rotations with equal time forward and backward. (6)

Module IV 17. Draw the profile of a cam which raises a valve with SHM through 3cm in 1/3 of revolution, keep it fully raised through 1/12 revolution and it is closed in next 1/3 revolution with SHM. The valve remains closed during the rest of revolution. The diameter of the roller is 1cm and minimum radius of the cam is to be 2cm.The axis of the valve rod is offset by 1cm from the axis of the cam shaft. Or 18. A cam with a minimum radius of 25mm is to be designed for a knife edge follower with the following data: i) To raise the follower through 35mm during 60 rotation of the cam ii) Dwell for next 40 of the cam rotation iii) Descending of the follower during the next 90 of the cam rotation iv) Dwell for the rest of the cam rotation Draw the profile of the cam if the ascending and descending of the cam is with simple harmonic motion and the line of stroke of the follower is offset 10mm from the axis of the shaft Module V 19. A 20 involute pinion with 20 teeth drives a gear having 60 teeth .Module is 8mm and addendum of each gear is 10mm. i) Show whether interference occurs or not ii) Find the length of path of approach and arc of approach if pinion is the driver. Or 20. In an epicyclic gear train an annular wheel A having 54 teeth meshes with a planet wheel B which gears with a sun wheel C, the wheels A and C being coaxial. The wheel B is carried on a pin fixed on one end of arm P which rotates about the axis of the wheels A

and C.If the wheel A makes 20 r.p.m in a clockwise sense and the arm rotates at 100 r.p.m in the anticlockwise direction and the wheel C has 24 teeth, determine r.p.m and sense of rotation of C
