1. (a) what do you mean by gyroscopic couple? Explain the terms active and Reactive
gyroscopic couple? (2M)
(b) An aeroplane makes a complete half circle of 50 metres radius, towards left, when
flying at 200 km per hr. The rotary engine and the propeller of the plane has a mass of 400
kg and a radius of gyration of 0.3 m. The engine rotates at 2400 r.p.m. clockwise when
viewed from the rear. Find the gyroscopic couple on the aircraft and state its effect on it.?
(3M)
2. A rear engine automobile is travelling along a track of 100 metres mean
radius. Each of the four road wheels has a moment of inertia of 2.5 kg-m2 and an effective
diameter of 0.6 m. The rotating parts of the engine have a moment of inertia of 1.2 kg-m2.
The engine axis is parallel to the rear axle and the crankshaft rotates in the same sense as
the road wheels. The ratio of engine speed to back axle speed is 3 : 1. The automobile has a
mass of 1600 kg and has its centre of gravity 0.5 m above road level. The width of the track
of the vehicle is 1.5 m. Determine the limiting speed of the vehicle around the curve for all
four wheels to maintain contact with the road surface. Assume that the road surface is not
cambered and centre of gravity of the automobile lies centrally with respect to the four
wheels (5M)
3. A shaft fitted with a flywheel rotates at 250 r.p.m. and drives a machine.
The torque of machine varies in a cyclic manner over a period of 3 revolutions. The torque
rises from 750 N-m to 3000 N-m uniformly during 1/2 revolution and remains constant for
the following revolution. It then falls uniformly to 750 N-m during the next 1/2 revolution
and remains constant for one revolution, the cycle being repeated thereafter.
Determine the power required to drive the machine and percentage fluctuation in speed, if
the driving torque applied to the shaft is constant and the mass of the flywheel is 500 kg
with radius of gyration of 600 mm?(5M)
4. A conical friction clutch with C.I contact surfaces transmits 34 HP at 1250 r,p,m the cone
angle is 14 degree and the coefficient of friction 0.255. If the mean diameter of the bearing
surface is 32 cm and intensity of normal pressure is not to exceed 0.07 Mpa, find the
dimensions of the contact surfaces and axial load required. The breadth of conical surface is
not to exceed one-third of its mean radius. (5M)
