(b) Explain velocity by Instantaneous Centre Method. 04
(c) State the motions imparted to a follower by a cam and sketch the
displacement- time diagrams for each motion type.
07
Q.4 (a) What is the advantage of crowning of pulleys? 03
(b) State different types of rope drives. What are the advantages & limitations of 04
rope drives over other drives?
(c) Derive an expression for total length of belt for a cross belt drive with usual 07
notations.
OR
Q.4 (a) What is centrifugal tension in a belt? How does it affect the power 03
transmitted?

mechanical error.
(c)
The crank and connecting rod of a theoretical steam engine are 0.5 and
2 m long respectively. The crank makes 180 r.p.m. in the clockwise
direction. When it has turned 45? from the inner dead centre position,
determine:1. Velocity of piston, 2. Angular velocity of connecting rod,
3. Velocity of point E on the connecting rod 1.5 m from the gudgeon
pin, 4. velocities of rubbing at the pins of the crank shaft, crank and
crosshead when the diameters of their pins are 50 mm, 60 mm and 30
mm respectively, 5. Position and linear velocity of any point G on the
connecting rod which has the least velocity relative to crank shaft.

manufacturing gears above cyclical teeth profile. Why?
(c)
The number of teeth of a spur gear is 30 and it rotates at 200 rpm. What will be its
circular pitch and the pitch line velocity if it has a module of 2 mm?
07
OR
Q.5 (a) Differentiate between self energizing brakes and self locking brake. 03
(b) With the usual notation prove that product of circular pitch and diametral 04
pitch is ?.
(c)
Draw the profile of a cam operating a roller reciprocating follower
and with the following data:
Minimum radius of cam = 25 mm
Lift = 30 mm Roller
diameter = 15 mm
The cam lifts the follower for 120 degree with SHM followed by a dwell
period of 30 degree. Then the follower lowers down during 150 degree
of the cam rotation with uniform acceleration and deceleration followed
by dwell period. If the cam rotates at a uniform speed of 150 rpm.
Calculate the maximum velocity and acceleration of the follower during
the descent period.
