(c) Design a four-crank rocker quick return mechanism for the following data: Rocker swing angle = 90, Time ratio= 1.25 and output link length = 60mm. (6) (or) 12. (a) How will you determine the magnitude and direction of the Coriolis Acceleration vector? (2) (b) In a four-bar mechanism ABCD, the link lengths in mm are as follows: Input AB = 25, coupler BC = 85, output CD = 50 and frame AD = 60. The angle between the frame and the input is 100 measured anti-clockwise. The velocity of point V is 1.25 m/sec in the clockwise direction. Sketch the mechanism and determine the velocity and acceleration of the mid-point of the link BC. Also find the angular velocity and angular accelerations of the links BC and CD. (14) 13. Using the overlay method, synthesize a four-bar linkage to generate the function = log 10 X, in the interval 1 X 2. (or) 14. Synthesize a four-bar linkage to meet the following specification of position, velocity and acceleration. = 60; 1 W = 5 rad/s; = 2 rad/s2 and = 90; W 2 rad/s; = 7 rad/s2. 15. Design and draw a cam to raise a valve with simple harmonic motion through 50mm in 1/3 of a revolution keep if fully raised through 1/12 revolution and to lower it with harmonic motion in 1/6 revolution. The valve remains closed during the reset of the revolution. The diameter of the roller is 20mm and the minimum radius of the cam is 25mm. The diameter of the camshaft is 25mm. The axis of the valve rod passes through the axis of the camshaft. (or) 16. A shaft is propelled by a turbine rotor, which has a mass of 5 tonnes and a speed of 2100 rpm. The rotor has a radius of gyration of 0.5m and rotates in a clockwise direction when

viewed form the stern. Find the gyroscopic effect in the following conditions: (a) The ship sails at a speed of 30 km/hr and steers to the left in curve having 60m radius; (b) the ship pitches 6 above and 6 below the horizontal position. The bow is descending with its maximum velocity. The motion due to pitching simple harmonic and the periodic times is 20 seconds. (c) The ship rolls and at a certain instant it has an angular velocity of 0.03 rad/sec clockwise when viewed form stern. 17. Two spur gear wheels mesh externally and are to give a velocity ratio of 3. The teeth are involutes form with diameteral pitch 2. Use standard addendum values and pressure angle is 18. Determine (a) The number of teeth in each wheel to avoid interference. (b) The lengths of path and arc of contact. (c) The number of pair of teeth in contact. (d) The angle of rotation of teeth pinion whilst any one pair of teeth is in contact. (or) 18. A epicyclic gear train consisting of fixed sun gear, S with 50 teeth meshing with a planet gear, P with 40 teeth. The planet gear meshes with a ring gear, R with 60 teeth. Determine the speed of the ring gear when the arm, A which carries the planet gear rotates at a speed of 100 rpm clockwise about the sun gear center axis. 19. The mass of each ball of a Proell governor is 7.5 kg and the load on the sleeve is 80 kg. Each of the arms is 300mm long. The upper arms are pivoted on the axis of rotation whereas the lower arms are pivoted to links of 40mm from the axis of rotation. The extensions of the Lower arms to which the balls are attached at 100mm long and are parallel to the governor axis at the minimum

radius. Determine the equilibrium speeds corresponding to Extreme radii of 180mm and 240mm. (or) 20. In a spring controlled governor the curve of a controlling force is a straight line. When the balls are 400mm apart the controlling force is 1200N and when 200mm apart the controlling force is 450N. At what speed will the governor run when the balls are 250mm apart. What initial tension on the spring would be required for isochronism and what would then be the speed. The mass of each ball is 9 kg.
