AA leather belt is Smm x 250mm is used to drive a cast iron pulley 900mm in
diameter at 336 rp.m. If the active are on the smaller pulley is 120° and the
stress in tight side is 2 MPa, find the tensions of the belt. The density of leather
may be taken as 980kg/m* and coefficient of friction of leather on cast iron is 0.35.

(b) A shaft supported at the ends in ball bearings carries a straight ¢ooth spur gear
at its mid span and is to transmit 7.5kW at 300 r.p.m. The pitch @ircle diameter
of the gear is 150mm. The distances between the centre Tine of es and gear
are 100mm each. If the shaft is made for steel and the_alloWable shear stress is
45MPa, determine the diameter of the shaft. The presstie dngle of the gear
may be taken as 20°,

Design and make a neat dimentioned sketc of @®nufficoupling which is used to
connect two steel shafts transmitting 40KW, af 350 rpm. The material for the shafts
and key is plain carbon steel for whith allowable shear and crushing stresses may
be taken as 40MPa and 80 MPa respectively. The material for the muff is cast iron
for which the allowable shearstressemay be assumed as 15 MPa.

Design a cam for operating the exhaust valve of an oil engine. It is required to give
‘equal uniform acceleration and retardation during opening and closing of the valve
‘each of which corresponds to 60° of cam rotation. The valve must remain in the fully
‘open position for 20° of cam rotation. The lift of the valve is 37.5mm and the least
radius of the cam is 40mm. The follower is provided with a roller of radius 20mm
and its line of stroke passes through the axis of the cam.
