[Answer any three out of the four questions. Only use of calculator is allowed for the purpose of calculation.
Use of any electronic devices is strictly prohibited in the exam hall. All the questions carrying equal marks]

1. A 5 x 5 in. full bearing supports a load of 900 lb., Cd / D = 0.0015, n = 400 rpm. The temperature
of the SAE 20W oil is maintained at 160o F. Considering the bearing lightly loaded (Petroff), compute
the frictional torque, fhp, and the coefficient of friction.
2. The load on a 6-in. full bearing is 1500 lb., n = 320 rpm; L/D =1; Cd/D = 0.0011; operating
temperature = 150o F; ho = 0.00088in. (a) Select an oil that will closely accord with the started
conditions. For the selected oil determine (b) the frictional loss (ft-lb/min), (c) the hydrodynamic oil
flow through the bearing, (d) the amount of end leakage.
3. The radial reaction on a bearing is 1500 lb.; it also carries a thrust of 1000 lb.; shaft rotates 1500 rpm;
inner race rotating; smooth load, 8-hr./day service, say 15,000 hr. (a) Select a deep-groove ball
bearing. (b) What is the rated 90 % life of the selected bearing?
4. A certain bearing is to carry a radial load of 500 lb. and a thrust of 300 lb. The load imposes light
shock; the desired 90 % life is 10 hr./day for 5 years at n = 3000 rpm. Select a deep-groove ball
bearing, outer race rotating. Consider all bearings that may serve.
