Gear C is the output and has 200 teeth. Gear A rotates at 2,000rev/min anticlockwise. Calculate the gear ratio and the output speed. (4 marks} An epicyciic gear box is designed as shown below. The input A rotates at 175 rev/min clockwise viewed from the ieft with a torque of 30Nm. The efficiency is 85%. The number of teeth on gear D is 25 and the number of teeth on gear Bis 130. Calculate the following: The gear box ratio, The output speed and its direction. The output power, The holding torque.

The weight is 5 kN and the coefficient of friction is 0.3, Calculate the force that will just make it slide down the plane. {4 marks) b. Find BW for the torque-angle diagram shown, The enclosed areas are A;=800J Ap=1600J Ag= 1100) Ag= 3001. Figure 2 Go on to find the moment of inertia for a flywheel which will keep the speed within the range of 390 to 410 rev/min. Find the mass of a suitable flywheel with a radius of gyration of 0.5m (16marks) Question 3 a. Give a brief description of two types of cams. (4marks) b. The displacement of a body performing simple harmonic motion is described by the following equation x= Asin (tat + 9) where Ais the amplitude, w is the natural frequency and @ is the phase angle. Given A= 30mm, w = 60rad/s and g = 1/6 radian, calculate the following. i, The frequency ii. The periodic time iii, ‘The displacement, velocity and acceleration when t = 1/3 (16 marks) Page 3 of 4Question 4 ‘The mechanism shown has crank OA of length 90mm radius which rotates anticlockwise at 4000rev/min. If the length of AB is 160mm and angle AOB is 55°, determine i) The velocity of the piston for the position shown. li) The angular velocity of the link AB about A. A WATT ° (20 marks) Question 5 ‘A mass of Skg is suspended on a spring and set oscillating. It is observed that the amplitude reduces to 5% of its initial value after 3 oscillations. It takes 0.75seconds to do them. Calculate the following: i) The damping ratio ii) The natural frequency iii) The actual frequency iv) The spring stiffness v) The critical damping coefficient, vi) The actual damping coefficient.
