Mechanical Engineering Theory of Machines

Q.1 (a) A crank-rocker mechanism has a 70 mm fixed link, a 20 mm crank, a 50 mm coupler, and a 70 mm
rocker. Draw the mechanism and determine the maximum and minimum values of the transmission
angle. Locate the two toggle positions and find the corresponding crank angles and the transmission
angles.

(b) The angle between the axes of two shafts connected by Hookes joint is 18. Determine the angle
turned through by the driving shaft when the velocity ratio is maximum and unity.

Q.2 (a) The total sleeve movement in a Hartnell governor is 3 cm. The mass of rotating balls is 1.5 kg each. At
the mid position of the sleeve arm, which is 6.5 cm long, is horizontal. The ball arm has a length of
7.5 cm. At the mid position of the sleeve, the balls rotate at a radius of 10.5 cm. Due to the mal
adjustment of spring, the equilibrium speed of governor at top position is 415 rpm and in lowest
position it is 430 rpm. Determine
(i) Stiffness and initial compression of spring.
(ii) Required initial compression in spring which gives equilibrium speed at the top most position
which is 10 rpm more than the lowest position neglect obliquity.

(b) A square threaded bolt of root diameter 22.5 mm and pitch 5 mm is tightened by screwing a nut whose
mean diameter of bearing surface is 50 mm. If coefficient of friction for nut and bolt is 0.1 and for nut
and bearing surface 0.16, find the force required at the end of a spanner 500 mm long when the load
on the bolt is 10 kN.
[10 marks]
Q.3 (a) A chain drive is used for reduction of speed from 240 rpm to 120 rpm. The number of teeth on the
driving sprocket is 20. Find the number of teeth on the driven sprocket. If the pitch circle diameter of
the driven sprocket is 600 mm and centre to centre distance between the two sprockets is 800 mm,
determine the pitch and length of the chain.
[12 marks]
(b) Two mating gears have 20 and 40 involute teeth of module 10 mm and 20 pressure angle. The addendum
on each wheel is to be made of such a length that the line of contact on each side of the pitch point has
half the maximum possible length. Determine the addendum height for each gear wheel, length of the
path of contact, arc of contact and contact ratio.
[13 marks]
Q.4 (a) The crank-pin circle radius of a horizontal engine is 300 mm. The mass of the reciprocating parts is
250 kg. When the crank has travelled 60 from IDC, the difference between the driving and the back
pressure is 0.35 N/mm2. The connecting rod length between centres is 1.2 m and cylinder bore is
0.5 m. If the engine runs at 250 rpm and if the effect of piston rod diameter is neglected,
calculate: 1. pressure on slide bars, 2. thrust in the connecting rod, 3. tangential force on the crank pin,
4. turning moment on the crank shaft.

(b) A double-acting steam engine develops 56 kW of power at 240 rpm. The maximum and minimum
speeds do not vary more than 1% of the mean speed and the excess energy is 30% of the indicated
work per stroke. Determine the mass of the flywheel if the radius of gyration of the flywheel is 500 mm.

(b) A mass of 10 kg is kept on two slabs of isolators placed one over the other. One of the isolators is of
rubber having a stiffness of 3 kN/m and damping coefficient of 100 Ns/m while the other isolator is of
felt with stiffness of 12 kN/m and damping coefficient of 300 Ns/m. If the system is set in motion in
vertical direction, determine the damped and undapmed natural frequencies of the system.
