PART A

1.What are the conditions to be fulfilled obtain a four bar crank rocker mechanism?
2.Define inversion of kinematic chain
In a four bar kinematic chain all links are free, motion ill be unconstrained.
When one link of a kinematic chain is fi!ed, it orks as a mechanism. "rom a four
link kinematic chain, four different mechanisms can be obtained b# fi!in$ each of
the four links turn b# turn. All these mechanisms are called inversions of the %arent
kinematic chain.
&.What is the condition to be met for correct steerin$?
Automobiles are controlled b# the steerin$ s#stem. Directional chan$es are
%rovided b# the steerin$ s#stem to the movin$ automobiles. 'teerin$ is done b#
movin$ the a!es of rotation of the front heels ith res%ect to chase frame.
(.'tate the %ur%ose of inde!in$ mechanism.
It is mechanism hich divides the circumference into e)ual number of %arts.
It causes the ork %iece to more in a desired amount on its a!is. it is used in
atches, tool chan$es for *+* machine, bank note countin$ etc.
,.-ist out the inversions of double slider crank mechanism.
..Define the rubbin$ velocit#.
/.What is the %rime circle of cam?
The smallest circle dran to the %itch curve from the centre of rotation of the
cam is called as the %rime circle. In knife0ed$e folloer, the base circle and the
%rime circle are the same. In roller folloer, the radius of the %rime circle is the
base circle radius %lus the radius of the roller.
-ist the motions of the folloer, durin$ its travel.
1i2 3niform motion,
1ii2 'im%le harmonic motion,
1iii2 3niform acceleration and retardation, and
1iv2 *#cloidal motion
Wh# are sometimes the a!es of translatin$ roller folloer in cam folloer
mechanisms offset from the a!is of cam rotatin$?
Define tan$ential cam.
When the flanks of the cam are strai$ht and tan$ential to the base circle and
nose circle, the cam is knon as tan$ent cam.
'tate the la of $earin$.
The la of $earin$ states that for obtainin$ a constant velocit# ratio, at an#
instant of teeth the common normal at each %oint of contact should ala#s %ass
throu$h a %itch %oint, situated on the line 4oinin$ the centre of rotation of the %air of
matin$ $ears.
What is the difference beteen a sim%le $ear train and a com%ound $ear train?
What is interference in involute $ear and ho is it %revented?
What is a differential $ear of an automobile?
Write the e)uation of friction tor)ue for uniform %ressure and uniform ear
theories for a flat collar.
What is the condition to be fulfilled for obtainin$ ma!imum efficienc# of a scre
4ack?
'tate the functional difference beteen a clutch and a brake.
What are the advanta$es of ire ro%es over fabric ro%es?
