1.What are the conditions to be fulfilled obtain a four bar crank rocker mechanism?
2.Define inversion of kinematic chain
In a four bar kinematic chain all links are free, motion ill be unconstrained.
When one link of a kinematic chain is fi!ed, it orks as a mechanism. "rom a four
link kinematic chain, four different mechanisms can be obtained b# fi!in$ each of
the four links turn b# turn. All these mechanisms are called inversions of the %arent
kinematic chain.
&.What is the condition to be met for correct steerin$?
Automobiles are controlled b# the steerin$ s#stem. Directional chan$es are
%rovided b# the steerin$ s#stem to the movin$ automobiles. 'teerin$ is done b#
movin$ the a!es of rotation of the front heels ith res%ect to chase frame.
(.'tate the %ur%ose of inde!in$ mechanism.
It is mechanism hich divides the circumference into e)ual number of %arts.
It causes the ork %iece to more in a desired amount on its a!is. it is used in
atches, tool chan$es for *+* machine, bank note countin$ etc.
,.-ist out the inversions of double slider crank mechanism.

2.Define the rubbin$ velocit#.
The rubbin$ velocit# is defined as the al$ebraic sum beteen the an$ular
velocities of the to links hich are connected b# %in 3oints, multi%lied b# the
radius of the %in.
4.What is the %rime circle of cam?
The smallest circle dran to the %itch curve from the centre of rotation of the
cam is called as the %rime circle. In knife5ed$e folloer, the base circle and the
%rime circle are the same. In roller folloer, the radius of the %rime circle is the
base circle radius %lus the radius of the roller.
6.-ist the motions of the folloer, durin$ its travel.
7i8 9niform motion,
7ii8 'im%le harmonic motion,
7iii8 9niform acceleration and retardation, and
7iv8 *#cloidal motion
:. Wh# are sometimes the a!es of translatin$ roller folloer in cam folloer
mechanisms offset from the a!is of cam rotatin$?
Define tan$ential cam.
When the flanks of the cam are strai$ht and tan$ential to the base circle and
nose circle, the cam is knon as tan$ent cam.
'tate the la of $earin$.
The la of $earin$ states that for obtainin$ a constant velocit# ratio, at an#
instant of teeth the common normal at each %oint of contact should ala#s %ass
throu$h a %itch %oint, situated on the line 3oinin$ the centre of rotation of the %air of
matin$ $ears.
What is the difference beteen a sim%le $ear train and a com%ound $ear train?
Simple gear train is used here there is a lar$e distance to be covered
beteen the in%ut shaft and the out%ut shaft. .ach $ear in a sim%le $ear train is
mounted on its on shaft.
Compound gear trains are used hen lar$e chan$es in s%eed or %oer out%ut
are needed and there is onl# a small s%ace beteen the in%ut and out%ut shafts.In a
com%ound $ear train at least one of the shafts in the train must hold to $ears.
What is interference in involute $ear and ho is it %revented?
What is a differential $ear of an automobile?
Differential cou%les the drive shaft to half5shafts that connect to the rear
drivin$ heels. The differential $earin$ allos the outer drive heel to rotate faster
than the inner drive heel durin$ a turn. This is necessar# hen the vehicle turns,
makin$ the heel that is travellin$ around the outside of the turnin$ curve roll
farther and faster than the other. Write the e)uation of friction tor)ue for uniform
%ressure and uniform ear theories for a flat collar.
What is the condition to be fulfilled for obtainin$ ma!imum efficienc# of a scre
3ack?
1:.'tate the functional difference beteen a clutch and a brake.
Clutch is used to transmit the %oer from driver shaft to driven shaft and used to
disen$a$e shafts hile chan$in$ $ears.
Break is used to retard motion b# convertin$ kinetic ener$# to heat then that heat
released to environment b# brake material.
2;.What are the advanta$es of ire ro%es over fabric ro%es?
1. These are li$hter in ei$ht,
2. These offer silent o%eration,
&. These can ithstand shock loads,
(. These are more reliable,
,. The# do not fail suddenl#,
2. These are more durable,
4. The efficienc# is hi$h, and
6. The cost is lo.
