I The dimensions of a four-link mechanism are: AB :400mm, BC : 600mm, cD (10)

: 500mm, AD: 900 mm and IDAB: 600. AD is the fixed link. E is a point on
the link BC such that BE:400mm and CE:300mm (BEC clockwise). A force
of 150 l45o N acts on DC at a distance of 250mm from D. Find the required
input torque on the link AB for static equilibrium of the mechanism.

Derive an expression for the velocity and acceleration of a piston of a slider crank (10)
mechanism and the inertia force due to reciprocating mass.
In a vertical IC engine, the connecting rod is 4.5 times the crank. The mass of the (10)
reciprocating parts is l.20kg and the stroke of the piston is 140mm. The engine runs
at 2000 rpm. If the net load on the piston due to g:rs pressure is 2kN when the crank
has tumed through an angle of 600 from the top dead centre, determine the
(i) Thrust in the connecting rod, (ii)Thrust on the piston walls, (iii)Tangential
force on the crank pin, (iv)Torque on the crankshaft

Answer any threefall questions, each carries 10 marks.
A shaft carries four masses A, B , C and D of magnitude 250kg, 350kg, (10)
480kg and 250kg respectively and revolving at radii 64mm,60mm, 50mm,

and 64mm in planes measured from A at 300mm, 400mm, and 700mm'
The angles between the cranks measured anticlockwise are A to B 45o, B
to C 70o, C to D 1200. The balancing masses are placed in planes P and Q.
The distance between the planes A and P is l00mm, between P and Q is
400mm and between Q and D is 200mm. If the balancing mass Q revolve
at a radius of 100 mm, and balance mass P revolve at a radius of l50mm,

find their magnitudes and angular positions.
A single cylinder engine is producing 25hP at 4000rpm with 2000 explosions per (10)
minute. The fluctuation of speed not to exceed lYo on either side. Find the
dimensions of a solid flywheel so that the hoop stress does not exceed 10MPa.
Assume that the work done during the power stroke is 1.4 times work done
during the cycle. Density of flywheel material is 7200kglm3.

The turbine rotor of a ship has a mass of 3500 kg. It has a radius of gyration of (10)
0.45m and a speed of 3000 r.p.m. clockwise when looking from stern. Determine
the gyroscopic couple and its effect upon the ship: 1. when the ship is steering to
the left on a curve of 100 m radius at a speed of 36 kmAr. 2. when the ship is
pitching in a simple harmonic motion, the bow falling with its maximum
velocity. The period of pitching is 40 seconds and the total angular displacement
between the two extreme positions of pitching is 12 degrees.
A racing car weighs 20kN. It has a wheel base of 2m, track width lm and height (10)
of C.G. 300 mm above the ground level and lies midway between the front and
rear axle. The engine flywheel rotates at 3000 r.p.m. clockwise when viewed
from the front. The moment of inertia of the flywheel is 4 kgm2 and moment of
inertia of each wheel is 3 kgm2. Find the reactions between the wheels and the
ground when the car takes a curve of 60m radius towards right at 60km/h, taking
into consideration the gyroscopic and the centrifugal effects. Each wheel radius
is 300mm.

From fundamentals derive the expression for logarithmic decrement for a (10)
free damped longitudinal vibration system.

l0 Derive the formula for natural frequency of free undamped longitudinal vibration (10)
using any 2 methods. Also derive formula for natural frequency of free transverse
vibration.
ll a) A machine of mass 75kg is mounted on springs and is fitted with a dashpot to (10)
damp out vibrations. There are three springs each of stiffness 10N/mm and it is
found that the amplitude of vibration diminishes from 38.4 mm to 6.4 mm in two
complete oscillations. Assuming that the damping force varies as the velocity,
determine : 1. The resistance of the dashpot at unit velocity. 2. The ratio of the
frequency of the damped vibration to the frequency of the undamped vibration.
3. The periodic time of the damped vibration.
t2 A shaft 1.5 m long, supported in flexible bearings at the ends carries two wheels (10)
each of 50 kg mass. One wheel is situated at the centre of the shaft and the other
at a distance of 375 mm from the centre towards left. The shaft is hollow of
external diameter 75 mm and internal diameter 40 mm. The density of the shaft
material is 7700 kg/^t and its modulus of elasticity is 200 GN/m2. Find the
lowest whirling speed of the shaft, taking into account the mass of the shaft.
l3 A steel shaft l.5m long is 95 mm in diameter for the first 0.6 m of its length, (10)
60mm in diameter for the next 0.5n of the length and 50 mm in diameter for the
remaining 0.4m of its length. The shaft carries two flywheels at two ends, the
first having mass of 900kg and 0.85 m radius of gyration located at the 95mm
diameter end and the second having a mass of 700kg and 0.55m radius of
gyration located at the end. Determine the location of the node and the natural
frequency of free torsional vibration of the system. The modulus of rigidity of
shaft materialmay be taken as 80GN/m2
