Summer 2023 Midterm Exam Time allowed: 60 min.

Machine Construction – MDP 112
The Exam Consists of TWO Questions in TWO Pages. Maximum Marks: 25 Marks 1 /2

Question (1) (13 Marks)

A) A Manual Punching Press is used to make holes in sheet metals. This design depends on applying
human torque on hand wheel (1) that is keyed to SQ.TH 22*5 spindle (2) which is responsible for
changing rotational movement to axial movement allowing the slide (3) to move axially along the
two posts (4), so that the punch (5), which is joined to slide with locking screw, can apply the
required force to shear the sheet metal with the desired hole that is located on the die (6) positioned
on the base (7).
In the light of what you have studied, it is required to:
1) Draw a construction drawing for the encircled parts. [8 Marks]
2) Calculate for the handwheel-spindle joint in your drawing using the attached table: [2 Marks]
• The maximum, minimum clearance.
• The maximum, minimum interference.

General Note for drawings:

• All required dimensions could be assumed.
• Enough views and sections are required for
all drawings.
• All drawings must include all manufacturing
considerations, fits, tolerances, machining
marks, etc.

Question (1): (10 points)

A frustum-shaped body is rotating at a constant angular

speed of 200 rad/s in a container filled with oil with 𝜇 = 0.1
Pa.s. If the thickness of the oil film on all sides is 1.2 mm,
determine the power required to maintain this motion.

Question (2): (8 points)

A water trough of a semicircular cross-section of radius

0.5 m consists of two symmetric parts hinged to each
other at the bottom. The two parts are held together by a
cable and turnbuckle placed every 3 m along the length
of the trough. Calculate the tension in each cable when
the trough is filled to the rim.
(Note: The centroid of a quarter-circle is 4R/3π away from the centerline)

Question (3): (7 points)

A 40-cm-diameter, 90-cm-high vertical cylindrical container is partially filled with 60-cm-high water.
Now the cylinder is rotated at a constant angular speed of 120 rpm. Determine how much the liquid
level at the center of the cylinder will drop as a result of this rotational motion, how much water is
spilled?
