Answer Question No. 1 which is compulsory & any
two from the rest
Time: 1hr. Full
marks: 30
1) Answer all the questions.
[25]
(a) What is a reverted gear train? Where is it used?
(b) Distinguish between slip and creep in belt drive.
(c) What is centrifugal tension in a belt?
(d) What do you mean by Coriolis component of
acceleration?
(e) Define the terms piston effort and crank effort.
2) The length of crank and connecting rod of a horizontal
reciprocating engine are 100 mm and 500 mm
respectively. The crank is rotating at 400 rpm. Using
Kleins construction find velocity and acceleration of the
piston & angular velocity and angular acceleration of the
connecting rod when the crank has turned 30o from inner
dead center. [10]
3) A belt of density 1 gm/cm 3 has a maximum permissible
stress of 250 N/cm2. Determine the maximum power that
can be transmitted by a belt of 20 cm X 1.2 cm if the ratio
of tight side to slack side tension is 2. [10]
4) An epicyclic gear train arrangement is shown in the
figure below. Gear E is fixed and gear C & D are
compounded and mounted on one shaft. If arm A makes
75 rpm in anticlockwise direction, determine the speed
and direction of rotation of gears B & F. The numbers of
teeth on the gears B, C, D, E and F are 25, 15, 50,
20 and 30 respectively. [10]
