3. Give classification of cams and explain the terms ‘Base Circle’, ‘Pressure angle’ and ‘Prime circle’ with a neat sketch.
4. A horizontal cross compound steam engine develops 300 kW at 90 rpm. The co-efficient of fluctuation of energy as found from the turning moment diagram is 0.1 and speed is to be kept within 0.5 % of the mean speed. Find the mass of the flywheel required, if the radius of gyration is 2m.
5. Explain the method of direct and reverse cranks to determine the unbalanced forces in radial engines.

SECTION-C

1. A 2.5 kW of power is transmitted by an open belt drive. The linear velocity of the belt is 2.5 m/s. The angle of lap on the smaller pulley is 165°. The coefficient of friction is 0.3. Determine the effect on power transmission in the following cases :
   1. Initial tension in the belt is increased by 8%

   2. Initial tension in the belt is decreased by 8%.
2. A C.I. flywheel is fitted to a punching press to run at 90 r.p.m. and must supply 12000 Nm of energy during 1/5^th revolution and allow 15% change of speed. The rim speed is limited to 350 m/min. Find the mean diameter and mass of the flywheel and motor power. Assume overall efficiency as 80%.
3. 1. Briefly explain the method of finding the counter masses in two planes to balance the dynamic unbalance of rotating masses.
   2. Describe the function of a Hartnell governor with the help of a neat sketch.
