MACHINE DESIGN Trivia # 5

Solution: Bending Moment, W = 50 (12) = 600 kg

M = 6 (600 ) + 8 (20 ) = 3 760 kg ⋅ m F = 20 kgs

Solution: Force required, F = D t (80 ) = (2 )(0.25 )(80 ) = 40 tons

o The corresponding factor for punching holes in brass is 65 instead of 80.

Solution: D = 1 inch E = 30 x 106 psi L = 20 inches

Solving for the lowest critical speed, 10” 10”

576 E I g ( 576 ) ( 30 x 106 ) ( 0.0491)( 32.2 )

Therefore, use L = 2.1 inches

Solution: Torque = Mass Moment of Inertia x AngularAcc eleration = I α

Where, I = 1 mr 2 , for cylinders; I=

Then, T = ( 225 ) kg − m 2 ⎡100 ( 2 π) ⎤ rad = 2356 .2 N ⋅ m

30 P 30 (12 000) Pin

8T 8(30 )P 8(30 )(350 )

Solution: For bearing or projected area, A B = L D = ⎜

1.08 W g (∆KE ) 32.2(2250 )

(18 250)(60)(1800) = 1971 mr

Solution: Diameter of the bigger cylinder, D 2 = SR (D1 ) = 2.75(22) = 60.5 cm

FR = (Fr )2 + (Ft )2 = (198.62)2 + (545.7 )2 = 580.72 N

28. Slip in belt transmission system means:

34. Which of the following is not true for a key?

49. The allowable hub length in the key assembly:

31. The typical helix angle ranges form to _.
