Q-1 A manufacturer is interested to start his business with five different modelsof tractor ranging

from 7.5 KW to 75 KW capacities. Specify the power capacities of models. There is an expansion
plan to further increase the number of models to ten full fill the task of agriculture. Specify the
power capacities of additional models.

Q-2 Design a diameter of spigot and thickness of a cotter joint to support a loadvarying from 30 kN
in compression to 30 kN in tension. The material used is carbon steel for which the following
allowable stresses may be used. The load is applied statically. Tensile stress = compressive stress =
50 MPa; shear stress = 35 MPa and crushing stress = 90 MPa.
Ans - unit 1 notes me hai ans uske jaise hi hai kar lo

Q-3 Distinguish between cotter joint

and knuckle joint.
Q- 4 Design a fulcrum pin of right angled bell crank lever. The horizontal arm is 500 mm
long and a load of 4.5 kN acts vertically downward through a pin inthe forked end of this
arm. At the end of the 150 mm long arm which is perpendicular to the 500 mm long arm, a
force P act at right angles to the axis of 150 mm arm through a pin into a forked end. The
lever consists of forged steel material and a pin at the fulcrum. Take the following data
forboth the pins and lever material:
Safe stress in tension = 75 MPa
Safe stress in shear = 60 MPa
Safe bearing pressure on pins = 10 N/mm2.

Ans -
Q-5 Determine a knuckle joint parts dimensions using empirical equation to
transmit 150 kN. The design stresses may be taken as 75 MPa in tension, 60
MPa in shear and 150 MPa in compression.
Q -6 A hydraulic press exerts a total load of 3.5 MN. This load is carried by two steel rods,
supporting the upper head of the press. If the safe stress is 85 MPa and E = 210 kN/mm2.
Find : 1. diameter of the rods, and 2. extension in each rod in a length of 2.5 m.
Q -6 Design an inside
diameter of socket of
cotter joint to connect two
mild steelrods for a pull of
30 kN. The maximum
permissible stresses are
55 MPa in tension; 40 MPa
in shear and 70 MPa in
crushing.
Q – 7 Determine a knuckle joint parts dimensions using empirical equation to connect two
mild steel bars under a tensile load of 25 kN. The allowable stresses are 65 MPa in tension,
50 MPa in shear and 83 MPa in crushing. Check whether the pin dimensions are safe in
shearing.

Ans –

Q- 8 A cast iron link as shown in figure requires to transmit a steady tensile load of 45
kN. Find the tensile stress induced in the link material at section A-A and B-B.

Ans
Q – 9 A rectangular base plate is fixed at each of its four corners by a 20 mm diameter bolt
and nut. The plate rests on washers of 22 mm internal diameter and 50 mm external diameter.
Copper washers which are placed between the nut and the plate are of 22 mm internal
diameter and 44 mm external diameter If the base plate carries a load of 120 kN (including
selfweight, which is equally distributed on the four corners), calculate the stress on the lower
washers before the nuts are tightened. What could be the stress in the upper and lower
washers, when the nuts are tightened so as to produce a tension of 5 kN on each bolt?
