If the shaft rotates at 1000 revolutions per minute, determine the gear ratio and the input power assuming an efficiency of 70%. (4 marks) ) Figure 1 shows an epicyelic gearbox with a fixed ring gear C. The input D rotates at 200 revoll ns per minute in a clockwise manner when viewed from the left with a torque of 40Nm. If the efficiency of the gearbox is 60%, calculate: i) The gear ratio (4 marks) ii) The output speed and direction (4 marks) iii) Output power (4 marks) iv) The holding torque.

Ifthe radius at the centre of gravity of each sliding head is 0.2m and the inside radius of the deum is 0.24m, calculate: i) The Friction force in each pad (4 marks) ii) The normal force (4 marks) iii) The required mass for each sliding head (4 marks) Damn Studuig heads] Lar shat Figure 3 © The Univesity of Trinidad & Tobass 3 April 2014 Alera Examinations (Mtaci2001)b) Ina flat belt drive system, a pulley is tensioned to 850N in a stationary position, Given that one of the pulley is 160mm in diameter and transmit 1.6Kw of power at 200 revolutions per minute, calculate the tensions on both sides. (8 marks) Question 4 a) What is the purpose of a flywheel? Identify an area where a flywheel is used. (6 marks) ) A torque — angle diagram for a punching machine is shown in figure 4. The enclosed areas, are: A; =350J, Ax = 700J, As = 500J, Ay = 150J. Calculate the moment of inertia for a flywheel that will keep the speed within the range 420 p.m, to 425 r.p.m, (10 marks) Find the mass of a suitable flywheel with a radius of gyration of 0.5m (4 marks) Torque © The Univesity of Trinidad & Tobaso 4 April2014 Alemute Examinations (siact2001)Question § a) What is the purpose of a universal joint? Give two examples of areas where universal joints are used, (5 marks) b) A body performing simple harmonic motion is described by the equation x = A sin (ot + 9) where x is the displacement, A is the amplitude, « is the natural frequency and g is the phase angle. Given A = 35mm, w = 50 rad/s and 9 = w/8 radian, calculate the following: i) The frequency (3 marks) The petiodie time, T (3 marks) iii) The displacement, velocity and acceleration when t = T/5.
