  1. A spur pinion of pitch diameter 50 mm rotates at 200 rad/s and transmits 3 kW power. The pressure angle of the tooth of the pinion is 20°. Assuming that only one pair of the teeth is in contact, the total force (in Newton) exerted by a tooth of the pinion on the tooth on a mating gear is ________.

    We know

    Np
    =
    TG
    NGTp

    where,
    Np = speed of pinion,
    NG = speed of gear wheel
    TG = number of teeth of gear,
    Tp = number of teeth of pinion
    1200
    =
    120
    NG40

    or NG =400 r.p.m.
    Since power transmitted by both gear will be equal
    i.e. Tpωp = TGωG
    where,
    Tp = torque transmited by pinion
    TG = torque transmitted by gear wheel
    20 × 2π × 1200
    =
    TG × 2π × 400
    6060

    ∴ Torque transmitted by gear, TG = 60 N-m.

    Correct Option: D

    We know

    Np
    =
    TG
    NGTp

    where,
    Np = speed of pinion,
    NG = speed of gear wheel
    TG = number of teeth of gear,
    Tp = number of teeth of pinion
    1200
    =

    NG40

    or NG =400 r.p.m.
    Since power transmitted by both gear will be equal
    i.e. Tpωp = TGωG
    where,
    Tp = torque transmited by pinion
    TG = torque transmitted by gear wheel
    20 × 2π × 1200
    =
    TG × 2π × 400
    6060

    ∴ Torque transmitted by gear, TG = 60 N-m.

  1. A single-plate clutch has a friction disc with inner and outer radii of 20 mm and 40 mm, respectively. The friction lining in the disc is made in such a way that the coefficient of friction μ varies radially as μ = 0.01 r, where r is in mm. The clutch needs to transmit a friction torque of 18.85 kN mm. As per uniform pressure theory, the pressure (in MPa) on the disc is __________.
