speed reductions (greater than 20) in one stage of a gear train are possible through worm gearing. Option (A) is correct. For Helical spring, deflection is given by, 3 n = 8PD3 n d = 64PR 4 Gd Gd 4 where, P = Compressive load d = Wire diameter R = Coil diameter G = Modulus of rigidity From the given conditions d \ 14 d Given d1 = 1 cm and d2 = 2 cm d2 = d1 4 d1 b d2 l d2 = 1 4 = 1 16 d1 b 2 l d2 = d1 16 So, deflection will decrease by a factor of 16.

D = 180 + 60 = 120 mm 2 Option (C) is correct. In standard full height involute teeth gear mechanism the arc of approach is not be less than the circular pitch, therefore Maximum length of arc of approach = Circular pitch ...(i) where Maximum length of the arc of approach Max. length of the path of approach = cos r sin f = = r tan f cos f Circular pitch, PC = pm = 2pr m = 2r Z Z Hence, from equation (i), we get r tan f = 2pr Z Z = 2 = 2 = 17.25 - 18 teeth tan tan 20c Option (D) is correct.

Option (D) is correct. When the shaft rotates, the bending stress at the upper fibre varies from maximum compressive to maximum tensile while the bending stress at the lower fibres varies from maximum tensile to maximum compressive. The specimen subjected to a completely reversed stress cycle. This is shown in the figure.

D1 = D 2

When shaft is subjected to repeated stress, then it will be designed for fatigue loading.
