Q.No.2. Answer any two of the following Questions: a) With the help of neat diagram, explain the concept of load torque depending on the angle of displacement of shaft with suitable example. b) Explain the determination of equivalent reffered load torque and moment of inertia for drives having rotational and translational motion. c) In the below shown mechanism, the motor drives the drum through a reduction gear with tooth ratio 0.25.
