III B.Tech I Semester(R05) Supplementary Examinations, December 2009 KINEMATICS OF MACHINERY (Mechanical Engineering) Time: 3 hours Max Marks: 80 Answer any FIVE Questions All Questions carry equal marks

1. (a) What is a Kinematic pair? Explain dierent types of Kinematic pairs as classied by relative motion. (b) The distance between the axes of two parallel shafts is 1cm. The shafts are connected by Oldham coupling. Find the maximum Kinetic energy of the intermediate piece of mass 5 kg when the shafts revolve at 300rpm. [10+6] 2. Prove that the tracing point, giving the horizontal straight-line motion in Tchebiches mechanism, lies at the mid point of the coupler. [16] 3. A Four-bar chain ABCD has a xed link AD= 900mm, the driving crank AB= 250mm, the driven crank CD= 500 mm and the connecting link BC= 1100mm. Find the velocity and acceleration of point P midway between B and C when the angle BAD =1200 and AB rotates clockwise at a uniform speed of 400rpm. [16] 4. (a) Dierentiate between Davis and Ackermann steering gears. (b) In a Davis steering gear, the length of the car between axles is 2.6 m and the steering pivots are 1.45 m apart. Determine the inclination of the track arms to the longitudinal axis of the car when it moves in a straight path. (c) Sketch polar velocity diagram of a Hookes joint and mark its salient features. [6+4+6] 5. (a) What are the considerations in selecting the choice of prole of a cam? (b) A cam is required to given motion to a follower tted with a roller 50mm in diameter. The lift of the follower is 30mm and is performed with uniform acceleration for 12mm, the cam turns through 450 . with uniform velocity for 12mm, the cam turns, through next 300 . With uniform deceleration for the remainder of the lift, the cam turns through next 450 . The follower falls through immediately with simple harmonic motion while the cam turns though 1200 . then a period of dwell is followed for 1200 of the cam angle. Construct a lift and fall diagram on a cam angle base. Also draw the outline of the cam. The least radius of the cam is 35mm, the line of motion of the follower passes through the centre of the cam axis. [16] 6. (a) Dene dedendum circle, line of action, module, arc of contact pertaining to gears. (b) A 2.5 module, 200 pinion with 40 teeth meshes with a rack with no backlash. If the rack is pulled out 1.25mm, calculate the backlash error. [16] 7. Two parallel shafts 5m apart are connected by open at belt drive. The diameter of the bigger pulley is 1.5m and that of the smaller pulley 0.75m. The initial tension in the belt is 2.5 kN. The mass of the belt is 1.25 kg/m length and coecient of friction is 0.25. Taking centrifugal tension into account, nd the power transmitted, when the smaller pulley rotates at 450rpm [16] 8. (a) Explain about automotive dierential. (b) An epicyclic gear consists of a pinion, a wheel of 40 teeth and an annulus with 84 internal teeth concentric with the wheel. The pinion gear with the wheel and the annulus. The arm that carries the axis of the pinion rotates at 100rpm. If the annulus is xed, nd the speed of the wheel; if wheel is xed, nd the speed of the annulus. [16]
