the operating force of 650 N is applied at the end of the lever, determine the torque that
may be transmitted by the block brake.

6. Explain a) Prony brake dynamometer and b) Rope brake dynamometer, with neat sketch.
7. Three masses 8kg, 12kg, and 15kg attached at radial distances of 80mm,100mm,and
60mm respectively to a disc on a shaft are in complete balance. Determine the angular
position of the masses 12kg and 15kg relative to 8kg mass.
(OR)
8. (a) What are the differences between reverse and direct crank methods of balancing of
reciprocating engines.
(b) A single cylinder horizontal engine runs at 120 r.p.m. The length of stroke is 400 mm.

of the reciprocating parts is 150kg.Determine the magnitude of the balancing mass
required to be placed opposite to the crank at a radius of 150mm which is equivalent to
all the revolving and 2/3rd of the reciprocating mass. If the crank turns 300 from the
inner dead centre, find the magnitude of the unbalanced force due to the balancing mass

(160,150),(125,120)and(400,90)mm. The rotor masses and radius gyrations at A and B
are: (300kg,0.75m)and (500kg,0.9m). The shear modulus of the shaft material is
84GPa.Determine the frequency of the torsion system. It is desired to have the node at
mid section of the shaft by changing the diameter of the section having a 90mm diameter,

10. a) What is meant by vibration isolation? Explain.
b) A load of 50 Kg is suspended from a spring of stiffness 5 KN/m and its damped by a
damper of magnitude 75N at 1 m/sec. If the load is displaced from the equilibrium
position and reached, find the number of complete vibrations before the amplitude is less
