A compound gear train with gears P, Q, R and S has number of teeth 20, 40, 15 and 20, respectively. Gears Q and R are mounted on the same shaft as shown in the figure below. The diameter of the gear Q is twice that of the gear R. If the module of the gear R is 2 mm, the center distance in mm between gears P and S is
-
A pin jointed uniform rigid rod of weight W and length L is supported horizontally by an external force F as shown in the figure below. The force F is suddenly removed. At the instant of force removal, the magnitude of vertical reaction developed at the support is
-
Two cutting tools are being compared for a machining operation. The tool life equations are: Carbide tool: VT1.6 = 3000HSS tool: VT0.6 = 200where V is the cutting speed in m/min and T is the tool life in min. The carbide tool will provide higher tool life if the cutting speed in m/min exceeds
- In a CAD package, mirror image of a 2D point P(5,10) is to be obtained about a line which passes through the origin and makes an angle of 45° counterclockwise with the X-axis. The coordinates of the transformed point will be

A linear programming problem is shown below.Maximize 3x + 7ySubject to 3x + 7y ≤ 104x + 6y ≤ 8x, y ≥ 0It has
- Cylindrical pins of mm diameter are electroplated in a shop. Thickness of the plating is 30±2.0 micron. Neglecting gage tolerances, the size of the GO gage in mm to inspect the plated components is
- During the electrochemical machining (ECM) of iron (atomic weight = 56, valency = 2) at current of 1000 A with 90% current efficiency, the material removal rate was observed to be 0.26 gm/s. If Titanium (atomic weight = 48, valency = 3) is machined by the ECM process at the current of 2000 A with 90% current efficiency, the expected material removal rate in gm/s will be
- A single degree of freedom system having mass 1 kg and stiffness 10 kN/m initially at rest is subjected to an impulse force of magnitude 5 kN for 10-4 seconds. The amplitude in mm of the resulting free vibration is
- A bar is subjected to fluctuating tensile load from 20 kN to 100 kN. The material has yield strength of 240 MPa and endurance limit in reversed bending is 160 MPa. According to the Soderberg principle, the area of cross-section in mm2 of the bar for a factor of safety of 2 is
- A simply supported beam of length L is subjected to a varying distributed load sin(3 π x/L) Nm-1, where the distance x is measured from the left support. The magnitude of the vertical reaction force in N at the left support is
