Part A (15marks) - Answer ALL Questions.

No. Question Marks CO KL
1. Explain the functioning of a reverted gear train with a neat sketch and
4 5 2
derive its velocity ratio.
2. Explain the functioning of an epicyclic gear train with a neat sketch. 4 5 2
3. Explain about precision points and structural error. 3 3 2
4. Explain the three position synthesis of a slider crank mechanism. 4 3 2
Part B (15marks) - Answer ANY TWO Questions
5. An epicyclic gear consists of three gears A, B
and C as shown in Figure. The gear A has 72
internal teeth and gear C has 32 external
teeth. The gear B meshes with both A and C
and is carried on an arm EF which rotates 7.5 5 2
about the centre of A at 18 r.p.m. If the gear
A is fixed, determine the speed of gears B and
C.

6. Synthesize a function generator to solve the equation y=1/x over the range 1 ≤
𝑋 ≤ 2 using three precision positions. Assume 300 starting and 1200 for the
7.5 3 2
finishing position for the input link and 2400 starting and 3300 finishing for the
output link.
7. a Explain the overlay method of synthesis. 5 3 2
b Sketch and mark the parts of a differential gear of an automobile. 2.5 5 2
