Instantaneous axis is a line drawn through an instantaneous centre and perpendicular to the plane
of motion.
21. What is resistant body?
A body is said to be resistant if it is capable of transmitting the required force with negligible
deformation. A link need not necessarily be a rigid body, but it must be a resistant body.
22. What is link?
A link or an element is defined as that part of a machine which has motion relative to some other
part. A link need not to be a single unit, but it may consist of several parts which are manufactured as
separate units.
23. What are the different types of links?
1) Rigid link.
2) Flexible link.
3) Fluid link.
24. What is meant by spatial mechanism?
Spatial mechanism have special geometric characteristics in that all revolute axes are parallel and
perpendicular to the plane of motion and all prism axes lie in the plane of motion.
25. What is the use of oldhams coupling?
It is used for transmitting motion between two shafts which are parallel but not coaxial.
Unit 2
1. What is kinematic analysis?
The objective of the kinematics analysis is to determine the kinematic quantities such as
displacements, velocities and accelerations of the elements in a mechanism.
2. What is displacement?
It is defined as the distance moved by a body with respect to a certain fixed point.
3. What is vector?
A vector is a straight line of a certain length possessing a starting point and a terminal point at
which it carries an arrow head.
Unit 3
1. What is a cam?
A cam is a rotating machine element which gives reciprocating or oscillating motion to another
element known as follower.
2. Give some examples of cam.
1) Radial or disc cams.
2) Cylindrical or barrel cams.
3) End or face cams.
4) Wedge cams.
3. Define tangent cam.
When the flanks of the cam are straight and tangential to the base circle and nose circle the cam is
known as tangent cam.
4. What ate the different motions of the follower?
1) Uniform motion.
2) Simple harmonic motion.
3) Uniform acceleration and retardation.
4) Cycloidal motion.
5. How can high surface stress in flat faced follower be minimized?
High surface stress in the follower is minimized by machining the flat end of the follower to a
spherical shape.
6. Where are the roller follower extensively used?
Roller followers are extensively used where more space is available such as in stationary gas oil
engines, and aircraft engines.
7. Define dwell period?
The period during which the follower remains at rest is called dwell period.
8. Explain offset follower.
When the motion of the follower is along an axis away from the axis of the cam centre, it is called
offset follower.
Unit 4
1. What is an angle of obliquity in gear?
It is the angle between the common normal to two gear teeth at the point of contact and the
common tangent at the pitch point. It is also called as pressure angle.
2. What is bevel gearing? Mention its types.
When the non-parallel or intersecting but coplanar shafts connected by gears, they are called
bevel gears and the arrangement is bevel gearing.
Types.
1) Skew bevel gearing
2) Spiral gearing.
3. What is meant by arc of approach?
It is the portion of the path of contact from the beginning of the engagement to the pitch point.
4. What is meant by arc of recess?
It is the position of the path of contact from pitch point to the end of the engagement to the pitch
point.
5. What is meant by Arc of contact?
It is the path traced by a point on the pitch circle from the beginning to the end of engagement of
a pair of teeth.
6. State law of gearing.
The law of gearing states that for obtaining a constant velocity ratio, at any instant of teeth the
common normal at each point of contact should always pass through a pitch point, situated on the line
joining the centre of rotation of the pair of mating gears.
7. Define normal and axial pitch in helical gears.
Normal pitch is the distance between similar faces of adjacent teeth, along a helix on the pitch
cylinder normal to the teeth.
Axial pitch is the distance measured parallel to the axis between similar faces of a adjacent teeth.
8. What are the methods to avoid interference?
1. The height of the teeth may be reduced.
2. The pressure angle may be increased.
3. The radial flank of the pinion may be cut back.
9. What is the advantage when arc of recess is equal to arc of approach in a meshing gears?
When arc of recess equal to arc of approach, the work wasted by friction is minimum and
efficiency of drive is maximum.
When there is only one gear on each shaft, it is called as simple gear train.
21. What is meant compound gear train?
When there are more than one gear on shaft, it is called a compound gear train.
22. What is the advantage of a compound gear train over a simple gear train?
The advantage of a compound gear train over a simple gear train is that a much larger speed
reduction from the first shaft to the last shaft can be obtained with small gears.
23. What is reverted gear train?
When the axes of the first and last wheels are co-axial the train is known as reverted gear train.
24. What are the externally applied torques used to keep the gear train in equilibrium?
1. Impart torque on the driving member.
2. Resisting or holding torque on the driven member.
3. Holding or braking torque on the fixed member.
25. Where the epicyclic gear trains are used?
The epicyclic gear trains are used in the back gear of lathe, differential gears of the automobiles,
pulley blocks, wrist watches, etc.
Unit 5
1. What is dry friction?
The friction that exists between two unlubricated surfaces is known as dry friction.
2. What is greasy friction?
When the two surfaces in contact have a minute thin layer of lubricant between them, then it is
called as greasy friction.
3. What is fluid friction?
When the two surfaces in contact are completely separated by a lubricant, then it is called as fluid
friction.
4. State the laws of dry friction.
1. The frictional force is directly proportional to the normal reaction between the surfaces.
2. The frictional force opposes the motion.
3. The frictional force is independent of the area and the shape of the contacting surfaces.
5. State the laws of fluid friction.
1. The frictional force is almost independent of load.
2. The frictional force is independent of the substances of the bearing surfaces and opposing
tendency is less.
3. The frictional force reduces with increase in temperature of the lubricant.
6. What is angle of repose?
The angle of repose is defined as the maximum inclination of a plane at which a body remains in
equilibrium over the inclined plane by the assistance of friction only.
7. What is limiting angle of friction?
The limiting angle of friction is defined as the angle at which the resultant reaction R makes with
the normal reaction.
8. Define Co-efficient of friction.
It is defined as the ratio of the limiting friction to the normal reaction between two bodies.
= F / Rn
9. What is the efficiency of the inclined plane?
The efficiency of inclined plane is defined as the ratio between effort without friction and the
effort with friction.
10. Why self locking screws have lesser efficiency?
Self locking screws needs some friction on the thread surface of the screw and nut hence it needs
higher effort to lift a body and hence automatically the efficiency decreases.
11. What are the functions of clutches?
1. It supplies power to the transmission system.
2. It stops the vehicle by disconnecting the engine from transmission system.
If the centre distance between two pulleys are too long then the belt begins to vibrate in a
direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of belt. This phenomenon is called wipping. It can be
avoided by idler pulleys.
22. Why lubrication reduces friction?
In practical all the mating surfaces are having roughness with it. It causes friction. If the surfaces
are smooth then friction is very less. Lubrication smoothens the mating surface by introducing oil film
between it. The fluids are having high smoothness than solids and thus lubrication reduces friction.
23. What you meant by crowning in pulley?
The process of increasing the frictional resistance on the pulley surface is known as crowning. It
is done in order to avoid slipping of the belt.
24. What is brake?
Brake is a device by means of which motion of a body is retarded for slowing down or to bring it
to rest which works on the principle of frictional force, it acts against the driving force.
25. Explain self energizing.
When moments of efforts applied on the break drum and frictional force are in the same direction,
the breaking torque becomes maximum. In such a case the brake is said to be partially self actuating or
self energizing.
