  1. A compound gear train with gears P, Q, R and S has number of teeth 20,40,15 and 20 respectively. Gears Q and P are mounted on the same shaft as shown in the figure below. The diameter of the gear Q is twice that of the gear R. If the module of the gear R is 2 mm, the centre distance in mm between gears Pand S is

  1. A solid disc with radius a is connected to a spring at a point d above the center of the disc. The other end of the spring is fixed to the vertical wall. The disc is free to roll without slipping on the ground. The mass of the disc is M and the spring constant is K. The polar moment of inertia for the disc about its centre is

    We know, ΔE = Iω²CS
    Here, ω = 200; ΔE = 400

    Cs =
    ωmax - ωmin
    ωmax + ωmin

    =
    20
    = 0.1
    200

    ΔE = 400 N – m
    ∴ I =

  1. The torque (in Nm) exerted on the crank shaft of a two stroke engine can be described as T = 10000 + 1000 sin 2θ - 1200 cos 2θ, where θ is the crank angle as measured from inner dead center position. Assuming the resisting torque to be constant, the power (in kW) developed by the engine at 100 rpm is _________.

    T = 10000 + 1000 sin2θ – 1200 cos2θ
    N = 100 rpm

    ω =
    2π × 100
    = 10.472 rad/s
    60

    Tmean =
    1
    2π∫0[10000 + 1000sin2θ - 1200 cos2θ]dθ

    By solving, we get Tmean = 10000 N-m
    Power = 10000 ×
    2π × 1000

    = 104719.75 W
    = 104.719 kW
