Exercise 1 Static force analysis of machines (not to be submitted)

Use drawing sheet wherever necessary

1. Sketch the FBD of each link in Fig.1. What is the force P for static equilibrium?
2. In Fig.2 pinion 2 is the driver and gear 3 is an idler. The gears have a diametral pitch of 6 and 20
o
pressure angle.
Sketch the FBD of gear 3 and show all forces acting. Pinion 2 rotates at 900 rev/min and transmits 25 hp to the
gear set.

5. ( ,, ) How will you solve the problem using method of superposition?
6. ( ,, ) Consider the following cases (i) there is friction in the joint A (ii) friction in joints A and B and (iii) friction
in all the four joints. Work out the static force analysis in each case assuming direction of impending motion.
(Does the impending motion in a joint imply the same for other joints?)

8. In the Q.7 above, assume a coefficients of friction =0.2 between link 1 and 6 and 0.1 between links 3 and 4.
Determine the torque M

9. Use the method of virtual work to analyse the problem 7.
10. A 16 tooth pinion (Fig.5) on shaft 2 rotates at 1720 rev/min and transmits 5 hp to the double reduction gear train.
All gears have 20
o
pressure angle. The distances between centres of bearings and gears for shaft 3 are shown in
Fig. Find the magnitude and direction of radial force that each bearing exerts against the shaft.

11. Obtain the force transmitted between two spur gears with involute teeth if there is friction between the teeth.
How will the torque ratio (output torque to input torque) vary with respect to the gear rotation? Let N

and N
2
be
the number of teeth, is the coefficient of friction, is the pressure angle and m be the module of each gear.
12. Illustrate the effect of friction in a slider-crank mechanism if there is friction in all the joints. A known force P is
applied on the slider. Obtain the torque T to be applied on the crank for static equilibrium. Also obtain all the
bearing forces. Assume a suitable direction for the impending motion. Work out the problem graphically by
assuming numerical values. Indicate the steps involved in the obtaining the forces.
