Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry equal marks

1. a) State and explain D'Alembert's principle.

b) What do you mean by equivalent offset inertia force? Explain.

2. A disc supported between two bearings on a shaft of negligible weight has a mass of 80 kg and a
radius of gyration of 300 mm. The distances of the disc from the bearings are 300 mm to the right
from the left-hand bearing. The bearings are supported by thin vertical cords. When the disc rotates
at 100 rad/s in the clockwise direction looking from the left-hand bearing, the cord supporting the
left-hand side bearing breaks. Find the angular velocity of precession at the instant the cord is cut
and discuss the motion of the disk.

3. a) Explain Prony brake with sketch.

b) In a band block brake, the band is lined with 14 blocks, each of which subtends an angle of 20
at the drum center. One end of band is attached to the fulcrum of the brake lever and the other to
a pin 150 mm from the fulcrum. Find the force required at the end of the lever 1 meter long from
the fulcrum to give a torque of 4 kN-m. The diameter of the brake drum is 1 meter and the
coefficient of friction between the blocks and the drum is 0.25.

4. A certain machine requires a torque of (1500 + 200 sin ) Nm. to drive it, where is the angle of
rotation of the shaft. The machine is directly coupled to an engine which produces a torque of
(1500 + 200 sin ) Nm. The flywheel and the other rotating parts attached to the engine have a
mass of 300 kg at a radius of gyration of 200 mm. If the mean speed is 200 r.p.m., find the
i) Fluctuation of energy
ii) Total percentage fluctuation of speed
iii) Maximum and the minimum angular acceleration of the flywheel and the
corresponding shaft positions

5. a) Define effort and power of a governor.

b) A governor of the Hartnell type has equal balls of mass 3 kg set initially at a radius of 200 mm.
The arms of the bell crank lever are 110 mm vertically and 150 mm horizontally.
Find: i) The initial compressive force on the spring if the speed for an initial ball
radius of 200 mm is 240 r.p.m. and
ii) The stiffness of the spring required to permit a sleeve movement of 4 mm
on a fluctuation of 7.5 % in the engine speed.

6. The reciprocating masses of the three cylinder engine are 4.1, 6.2 and 7.4 tonnes respectively. The
centre lines of the three cylinders are 5.2 m; 3.2 m and 1.2 m from the fourth cylinder. If the cranks
for all the cylinders are equal, determine the reciprocating mass of the fourth cylinder and the
angular position of the cranks such that the system is completely balanced for the primary force and
couple. If the cranks are 0.8 m long, the connecting rods 3.8 m and the speed of engine 75 r.p.m,
find the maximum unbalanced secondary force and the crank angle at which it occurs.

7. a) Explain Dunkerly's method.
b) A 22 mm wide and 45 mm deep steel bar is freely supported at two points that are 800 mm apart
and carries a load of 180 kg midway between them. Determine the natural frequency of the
transverse vibration, neglecting the weight of the bar.

8. Discuss in detail vibration measuring instruments.
