b) What do you mean by ‘dynamically equivalent system’? Explain. [3]
c) Though cone clutches provide high frictional torque, yet they have become
obsolete – why? [2]
d) What is a brake? What is the difference between a brake and a clutch? [3]

2. A motor cycle along with the rider weighs 2 KN, the C.G. of the machine and
rider combined being 60 cm above the ground, with the machine in vertical
position. The M.I. of each road wheel is 1030 N/mm2, and the rolling diameter is
60 cm. The engine rotates at 6 times of the road wheels and in the same sense. The
M.I. of rotating parts of the engine is 165 N/mm2. Determine the angle of heel
necessary if the unit is speeding at 62.5 km/h round a curve of 30.4 m. [10]

3. In a vertical petrol engine, the crank radius is 6 cm, and the connecting rod is 22 cm
long. The piston weighs 9.8 N. The connecting rod may be regarded as being
equivalent to a mass of 0.5 kg at the piston together with a mass of 1 kg at the crank
pin. Find the amount and the direction of the force exerted on the crank pin when the
crank has moved 300 from the top dead centre. The engine speed is 2000 rpm, and in
this position the force on the piston due to gas pressure is 7.35 N. [10]

4. A thrust bearing has contact surfaces of 40 cm and 30 cm external and internal
diameters respectively. Calculate the number of collars required for an end
thrust of 16 tonnes. The coefficient of friction is 0.04 and the maximum intensity of
allowable pressure is 0.35 MPa. What is the HP lost in friction at a speed of 120 rpm?

OR
5. Sketch an internal expanding shoe brake and derive the expression for friction
torque of such a brake. [10]
8. A shaft carries five masses A, B, C, D and E which revolve at the same radius in
equidistant planes. The masses in planes A, C and D weigh respectively 500, 400 and
800 N. The angle between A and C is 900 and that between C and D is 1350. Find the
weights in planes B and E and their angular positions so that the shaft may be
completely balanced. [10]
OR
9. A shaft carries four revolving masses A, B, C and D in that order along the axis. The
mass A may be assumed to be concentrated at a radius of 12 cm, B at15 cm, C at 14 cm,
and D at 18 cm. The weights of A, C and D are 150 N, 100 N and 80 N respectively.
The planes of revolution of A and B are 15 cm part, and those of B and C are 19 cm
apart. The angle between the masses A and C is 900. Determine (a) the angles between
masses A, B, and C, and (b) the distance between the planes of revolution of C and D,
(c) the weight of mass B, so that the shaft may be completely balanced. [10]
10.a) Draw the sketches of amplitude of displacement vs time for the cases of under –
damped, over – damped, critically damped, and undamped vibrations. Comment on
the behavior of the graphs.
b) A shaft supported freely at its ends has a load of 1.2 kN placed at the centre of the
shaft. The diameter of shaft is 40 mm and its length is 700 mm. Find the frequency of
its natural transverse vibrations, if E = 200 GN/m2. [6+4]
OR
11.a) Explain the Dunkerley’s method for finding the frequency of natural transverse
vibrations of a simply supported shaft carrying several concentrated loads.
b) Given that the undamped natural frequency of longitudinal vibrations of a spring– mass
1 k
system (where the mass of spring is assumed to be negligible) is , where k is
2 m
the stiffness of the spring and m is the mass attached at the end of the spring, find the
natural frequency of vibrations when the mass of the spring is considered to be m1 per
unit length of the spring. [5+5]
