(Answer ALL Questions. Assume any data, if required, giving reason for the choice)
QI. (a) Derive the expression 7/7) = ¢“****"for a V-belt drive, where 7; and 7) are the tight
and slack side tensions respectively, when slipping is about (o commencey: is tne
effective coefficient of friction, fis the hulf groove angle and 0 is the angle of lap.
8)
(b)Allowing for centrifugal tension, calculate the belt speed at which the maximum power
Il be transmitted by a V-belt of mass 0. Ag-m and the maximum belt tension being
ited to 2.4 AN. The angle of lap on the pulley is 160°, « = 0.20 and the belt is running
ina V-groove of total groove angle 44”. Qa
Q2. (a) Twogear wheels of 4module and of 20" pressure angle, each having 80 tecth, are in
mesh together. Determine the minimum addendum length necessary if the contact ratio
is to be 2.0. How much greater is the addendum length than that of a standard tooth of
the same pitch?
If these gears transmit /0 kW at 1000 revnin and the tooth load is shared unifor
between those pairs of teeth in contact, determine the maximum and minimum normal
loads between each pair of teeth, ®)
(b) An epicyclic gear consists of a sun wheel which has 24 teeth, planet wheels which have
28 teeth, and an internally toothed annulus which is held stationary. Neglecting frieti
find the torque required to hold the annulus at rest when 8 AW” is being transmitted, the
sun wheel rotating at 600 rev/min, o

Q3, What are the static and dynamic loads on a wire rope? Explain how factor of safety vi
wire rope is determined. 0?)
Q4. Classify the various types of machinery used in mining industry. (07)
Q5, Name different types of prime movers used in mining machinery. What are the different
subsystems of the IC engines used in miningmachinery? Explain the difference between
turbocharger and super charger used in IC engines. 407)
Q6. Draw a schematic diagram of a crawler and label the components. Explain why crawler
mounted machines are preferred to tire mourited machines in mines. (07)
Q7. A dozer is dozing 250 loose cubic meter per hour on a site nd the dozing toss due to the
ground condition is 20%. The operator's efficiency related dozing loss is 10%. If there
no other loss, what is the total bank volume dozed in a day of 10 effective working
hours if the swell factor of the material dozed is 1.3. (Answer should be given with
precision up to one decimal place) (02)
