In a simple steam engine, the lengths of the crank and the connecting rod are 100 mm and 400 mm respectively. The weight of the connecting rod is 50 kg and its centre of mass is 220 mm from the cross head centre. The radius of gyration about the centre of mass is 120 mm. If the engine speed is 300 rpm and the crank has turned 45 from (i) The angular velocity and acceleration of the connecting rod (ii) Kinetic energy of the connecting rod. (16) Or

PQRS is a four bar chain with a fixed link PS. The lengths of the links are : PQ = 62.5 mm, QR = 175 mm, RS = 112.5 mm and PS = 200 mm. The crank PQ rotates at 10 rad/s clockwise. Draw the velocity and acceleration diagram when angle QPS = 60 and find the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the links QR and RS. (16) A disc cam used for moving a knife edge follower with SHM during lift and uniform acceleration and retardation motion during return. Cam rotates at 300 rpm clockwise direction. The line of motion of the followeroffset 10 mm to the right angle of cam shaft axis. The has an minimum the cam is 30 mm. The lift of the follower is 40 mm. radius of The camangles are: lift 60, dwell 90, return 120 and remaining rotation angle for dwell. Draw the cam profile and determine the maximum velocity and during the lift and return. acceleration Or

A bicycle and rider of mass 100 kg are travelling at the
rate of 16 km/hr on a level road. A brake is applied to the rear wheel which is 0.9 m in diameter and this is the only resistance acting. How many turns will it make before it comes to rest? The pressure applied on the brake is 100 N and = 0.05. (8) Or (b) A rope drive is required to transmit 230 kW from a pulley of 1 m diameter running at 450 rpm.
