21. Show with the help of simple sketch the main components of any anti-friction

Bearing.

22. What are the three states of lubrication?

23. The load-carrying capacity of a bearing is determined by three conditions what are they.

24. For the shown sketches of bearings identify the type and show the load supported

by each.
