Explanation The free-body diagram is shown in figure 1. The sum of the moments of the forces along AE must be zero. Σ M → A E = 0 λ ^ A E ⋅ ( r → D / A × T → D F ) + λ ^ A E ⋅ ( r → B / A × P → ) = 0 (I) Here, Σ M A E is the sum of the moments of forces along AE, λ ^ A E is the unit vector along AE, T → D F is the tension, r → D / A and r → B / A are position vectors and P → is the weight. Write the expression for λ ^ A E . λ ^ A E = A E → A E (II) Here, A E is the magnitude of the vector A E → . Write the expression of A E → . A E → = ( 480 mm ) i ^ + ( 160 mm ) j ^ − ( 240 mm ) k ^ Find the magnitude of A E → . A E = ( 480 mm ) 2 + ( 160 mm ) 2 + ( − 240 mm ) 2 = 560 mm Substitute [ ( 480 mm ) i ^ + ( 160 mm ) j ^ − ( 240 mm ) k ^ ] for A E → and 560 mm for A E in equation (II) to find λ ^ A E . λ ^ A E = ( 480 mm ) i ^ + ( 160 mm ) j ^ − ( 240 mm ) k ^ 560 mm = 6 i ^ + 2 j ^ − 3 k ^ 7 (III) Write the expressions for the position vectors

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial …

Q1: Determine the length, angle of contact, and width of a 9.75 mm thick leather belt required to transmit 15 kW from a motor running at 900 r.p.m. The diameter of the driving pulley of the motor is 300 mm. The driven pulley runs at 300 r.p.m. and the distance between the centers of two pulleys is 3 meters. The density of the leather is 1000 kg/m³. The maximum allowable stress in the leather is 2.5 MPa. The coefficient of friction between the leather and pulley is 0.3. Assume open belt drive.

5. A 15 kW and 1200 r.p.m. motor drives a compressor at 300 r.p.m. through a pair of spur gears having 20° stub teeth. The centre to centre distance between the shafts is 400 mm. The motor pinion is made of forged steel having an allowable static stress as 210 MPa, while the gear is made of cast steel having allowable static stress as 140 MPa. Assuming that the drive operates 8 to 10 hours per day under light shock conditions, find from the standpoint of strength, 1. Module; 2. Face width and 3. Number of teeth and pitch circle diameter of each gear. Check the gears thus designed from the consideration of wear. The surface endurance limit may be taken as 700 MPa. [Ans. m = 6 mm; b= 60 mm; Tp=24; T=96; Dp = 144mm; DG = 576 mm]

4. G A micarta pinion rotating at 1200 r.p.m. is to transmit 1 kW to a cast iron gear at a speed of 192 r.p.m. Assuming a starting overload of 20% and using 20° full depth involute teeth, determine the module, number of teeth on the pinion and gear and face width. Take allowable static strength for micarta as 40 MPa and for cast iron as 53 MPa. Check the pair in wear.
