SECTION-B
2. What human needs require consideration in a design problem?
3. Discuss the different criteria of designing a shaft.
4. What is function of coupling and clutches? How does a coupling differ from the clutch?
5. Explain the procedure of designing a fulcrum pin.
6. What is uniform strength concept used in design of cotter joint?

SECTION-C
7. Show by neat sketches the various modes of failure of riveted joints.
8. The shaft of a rolling machine is driven by means of a motor placed horizontally.
The flywheel which also acts as pulley is of 1.5 m diameter and has belt tensions 5.4 kN
and 1.8 kN on tight side and slack side, respectively. The weight of the flywheel is
15 kN. Determine the shaft diameter if the maximum allowable shear strength is 50
N/mm
2
. The overhang of the flywheel is 250 mm.
9. Design a muff coupling for a shaft transmitting 25 kW at 250 rpm. The safe shear stress
for the carbon steel shaft is 50 N/mm
2
and for the cast iron muff it is 12 N/mm
2
.
The allowable shear and crushing stress for the key?s material are 40 N/mm
2
and
80 N/mm
2
, respectively. Design torque may be taken as 1.15 times the average torque.
