Q2) a) A foot lever is 1m from the center of shaft to the point of application of
800N load, find
(i) diameter of shaft (ii) length of the key (iii) dimensions of rectangular
arm of the foot lever at 60mm from the center of the shaft, assuming
width of the arm as 3 times thickness. The allowable tensile strength may
be taken as 73Mpa and allowable shear stress as 70Mpa, Width of
key=l2mm and thickness of key=8mm. [6]
b) How do you classify keys? [4]

Q3) a) How do you classify shafts? [2]

b) A machine slide weighing 3 KN is elevated by a double start acme threaded
screw at the rate of 0.84 m/min. If the coefficient of friction is 0.12,
calculate the power to drive the slide. The end of the screw carries a
thrust collar of 32 mm inside diameter and 58 mm outside diameter.
Pitch of the screw thread is 7 mm and outside diameter is 44 mm. Take
coefficient of friction for collar as 0.09 and allowable shear stress as
44.125 Mpa. Is it strong enough to sustain the load? [8]
