Subject- Theory of machine (ME-403)

Assignment-I (Unit-4)
Submission Date-10/05/2020 Total Marks-20

1. Deduce an expression for the efficiency of an inclined plane when a body moves down a plane?
2. In what way the expressions for the friction torque of a conical collar are changed from that for a
flat collar?
3. Derive an expression for friction torque considering both the theories for flat and conical pivots?
4. 2.5 KW of power is transmitted by an open belt drive. The linear velocity of the belt is 2.5 m/s.
The angle of lap on the smaller pulley is 165°. The coefficient of friction is 0.3.
Determine the effect on the power transmission in the following cases:
(i) Initial tension in the belt is increased by 8%
(ii) Initial tension in the belt is decreased by 8%
(iii) Angle of lap is increased by 8% by the use of idler pulley, for the same speed and the tension
on the tight side, and
(iv) Coefficient of friction is increased by 8% by suitable dressing to the friction surface of the
belt.
5. In a trust bearing, the external and the internal diameters of the contacting surfaces are
320mm and 200mm respectively. The total axial load is 80kN and the intensity of the
pressure is 350kN/m2. The shaft rotates at 400rpm. The coefficient of the friction as 0.06,
calculate the power lost in overcoming the friction. Also, find the number of collars
required for the bearing.
6. A conical pivot with angle of cone as 100° supports a load of 18kN. The external radius is
2.5 times the internal radius. The shaft rotates at 150rpm. If the intensity of pressure is to
be 300 kN/m2 and coefficient of friction as 0.05. What is the power lost in working
against the friction?
7. A single clutch is required to transmit 8kW at 1000rpm. The axial pressure is limited to
70kN/m2. The mean radius of plate is 4.5 times the radial width of the friction surface. If
the both sides of the plate are effective and coefficient of friction is 0.25, find
i. The Inner and the outer radii of the plate and mean radius
ii. The width of the friction lining
8. Describe the working of a band and block brake with the help of a neat sketch. Deduce
the relation for ratio of tight and slack side tension?
