SUB CODE & NAME: (402048) Mechanical System Design Max. Marks: 20
Time: 60 min.
Instruction to candidates:
1) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
2) Neat diagrams must be drawn wherever necessary.
3) Use of electronic calculator is allowed.
4) Your answer will be valued as a whole.
5) Assume suitable data, if necessary.

1 A) What is the structural formula? Write down any three structural formulae for a 12
speed gear box? (4 M)
B) Compare different laws of regulation of speeds in multispeed gear box. (6 M)
Or
2 A six speed gear box is to be designed for a machine tool drive. The spindle speeds range
between 200 rpm And 1200 rpm. If the gear box is driven by motor of 8 KW, 1200 rpm
through belt drive. Draw the speed diagram and gearing diagram. (10 M)

3 A) Give the comparison between Normal distribution and Standard Normal distribution
curves. (4 M)
B) Define the following terms:
i) Population
ii) Sample
iii) Random variables
Also explain the concept of reliability based design. (6 M)
4 A particular type of rolling contact bearing has a normally distributed time to failure
with a mean of 10000 hours and a standard deviation of 750h. If there are 100 such
bearings fitted at a time, how many May be expected to fail within the first 11000h?
