5. A shaft is supported by bearings 1200 mm a part, left gear B has 40 teeths and 10 mm 20
module. It is located 200 mm left to the right hand bearing and is driven by gear A directly
below it. A belt pulley C, 600 mm in diameter is located 400 mm to the right to left hand
bearing and drives another bigger pulley directly behind it. The ratio of tentions is 2.5:1
with tight side on top. The angle of wrap on pulley C is 150º. The gear teeth are 20º involute
form. The gear transmit 40 kw at 250 rpm, determine diameter of shaft.

6. a) A railway Wagon weighing 18 kN and moving at velocity of 60 m/min, is brought to rest
by a bumber consisting of two helical springs of square section. In bringing the wagon to
rest the springs are to be compressed by 200 mm. The permissible shear stress is not to
exceed 400 N/mm2. Select spring index of '6' and find -
i) maximum load on each spring
ii) Side of square section wire
iii) Mean dia. of the coils.
iv) No. of active coil

b) A semi-elliptical leaf spring used for automobile suspension consists of three extra full
length leaves and is graduated length including the master leaf. The center to center distance
between two eye of spring is 1 m. The maximum force that acts on the spring is 75 kN. The
ratio of (b/t) for each leaf is 9. The leaves are pre-stressed so that the maximum stress
induced is 450 MPa. E = 207 x 103 MPa. Determine -
i) b and t of the leaves
ii) the initial nip
iii) the initial pre-load required to close the gap between extra full length and graduated
length leaves.
