Answer all questions


1. Sketch and describe the working of two different types of quick return mechanisms. Give examples of their applications.
Derive an expression for the ratio of times taken in forward and return stroke for one of these mechanisms.
2. Figure-1 shows some four-link mechanisms in which the figures indicate the dimensions in standard units of length.
Indicate the type of each mechanism, whether it is crank-rocker or double-crank or double-rocker. State and explain the
working principle of pantograph with suitable sketch.

100 mm At the instant when angle DAB = 60°, the link AB has an angular velocity of 10.5 rad/s in the counter-clockwise
direction. Determine the
(i) velocity of the point C
(ii) velocity of the point E on the link BC when BE = 40 mm.
4. What do you understand by the instantaneous centre of rotation (centro) in kinematic of machines? State the ‘Aronhold
Kennedy’s Theorem of three instantaneous centres. Write the relation between the number of instantaneous centres and the
number of links in a mechanism.
5. Obtain an expression for the length of a belt in a cross belt drive. Explain the phenomena of ‘slip’ in a belt drive. Derive a
condition for maximum power transmission of flat belt. Prove centrifugal tension Tc = mv2 of flat belt drive.
6. a) A pulley is driven by a flat belt running at a speed of 600 m/min. The coefficient of friction between the pulley and the
belt is 0.3 and the angle of lap is 160°. If the maximum tension in the belt is 700 N ; find the power transmitted by a belt.
b) Two pulleys, one 450 mm diameter and the other 200 mm diameter are on parallel shafts 1.95 m apart and are connected
by a crossed belt. Find the length of the belt required and the angle of contact between the belt and each pulley.
What power can be transmitted by the belt when the larger pulley rotates at 200 rev/min, if the maximum permissible tension
in the belt is 1 kN, and the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.25?

the arm rotates at 400 r.p.m., clockwise, find : 1. Speed of wheel Cwhen Ais fixed, and 2. Speed of wheel A when C is fixed.

1. when A makes one revolution clockwise and D makes half a revolution anticlockwise, and
2.when A makes one revolution clockwise and D is stationary? The number of teeth on the gears A and D are 40 and 90
respectively.

9. A horizontal cross compound steam engine develops 300 kW at 90 r.p .m. The coefficient of fluctuation of energy as
found from the turning moment diagram is to be 0.1 and the fluctuation of speed is to be kept within± 0.5% of the mean
speed. Find the weight of the flywheel required, if the radius of gyration is 2 meters.
10. What are functional differences between flywheel and governor? The arms of a Porter governor are each 250 mm long
and pivoted on the governor axis. The mass of each ball is 5 kg and the mass of the central sleeve is 30 kg. The radius of
rotation of the balls is 150 mm when the sleeve begins to rise and reaches a value of 200 mm for maximum speed. Determine
the speed range of the governor. If the friction at the sleeve is equivalent of 20 N of load at the sleeve, determine how the
speed range is modified.
11. A cam, with a minimum radius of 50 mm, rotating clockwise at a uniform speed, is required to give a knife edge follower
the motion as described below: 1.To move outwards through 40 mm during 100° rotation of the cam; 2. To dwell for next
80°; 3. To return to its starting position during next 90°, and 4.To dwell for the rest period of a revolution i.e. 90°.
Draw the profile of the cam
(i) when the line of stroke of the follower passes through the centre of the cam shaft, and
(ii) when the line of stroke of the follower is off-set by 15 mm.
The displacement of the follower is to take place with uniform acceleration and uniform retardation. Determine the maximum
velocity and acceleration of the follower when the cam shaft rotates at 900 r.p.m. Draw the displacement, velocity and
acceleration diagrams for one complete revolution of the cam.
12. Draw the profile of a cam operating a knife-edge follower having a lift of 30 mm. The cam raises the follower with SHM
for 150° of the rotation followed by a period of dwell for 60°. The follower descends for the next 100° rotation of the cam
with uniform velocity, again followed by a dwell period. The cam rotates at a uniform velocity of 120 rpm and has a least
radius of 20 mm. What will be the maximum velocity and acceleration of the follower during the lift and the return?

14. A shaft carries four masses A, B, C and D of magnitude 200 kg, 300 kg, 400 kg and 200 kg respectively and revolving at
radii 80 mm, 70 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm in planes measured from A at 300 mm, 400 mm and 700 mm. The angles between
the cranks measured anticlockwise are A to B 45°, B to C 70° and C to D 120°. The balancing masses are to be placed in
planes X and Y. The distance between the planes A and X is 100 mm, between X and Y is 400 mm and between Y and D is
200 mm. If the balancing masses revolve at a radius of 100 mm, find their magnitudes and angular positions.
