Here the line of action of tangential braking force Ft passes through

the fulcrum O of the lever and brake wheel rotates clockwise. Then for
equilibrium, Taking the moment about the fulcrum O ,
RN # x = P # l
RN = P # l = 400 # 0.6 = 1200 N
x 0.2
Tangential braking force on the wheel,
Ft = μRN
Braking Torque, TB = Ft # r = μRN # r
= 0.25 # 1200 # 0.15 = 45 N−m

SOL 5.23 Option (C) is correct.

Given : d = 20 mm , l = 700 mm ,
E = 200 GPa = 200 # 109 N/m2 = 200 # 103 N/mm2
Compressive or working Load = 10 kN
According to Euler’s theory, the crippling or buckling load (Wcr ) under
various end conditions is given by the general equation,
Wcr = cπ 2EI

...(i)
l
Given that one end is guided at the piston end and hinged at the other end.
So, c =2
From equation (i),
Wcr = 2π 2EI = 2π2E # π d 4 I = π d4

We know that, factor of safety (FOS)
Crippling Load
FOS = = 62.864 = 6.28
Working Load 10
The most appropriate option is (C).

SOL 5.24 Option (B) is correct.

Given : ZP = 20 , ZG = 40 , NP = 30 rev/ sec , P = 20 kW = 20 # 103 W ,
m = 5 mm
Module, m = D = DP = DG
Z ZP ZG
DP = m # ZP = 5 # 20 = 100 mm
or, DG = m # ZG = 5 # 40 = 200 mm
