7. A motor shaft rotating at 1440 r.p.m. has to transmit 15 kW to a low speed shaft rotating at 500 r.p.m.
The teeth are 20° involute with 25 teeth on the pinion. Both the pinion and gear are made of cast iron
with a maximum safe stress of 56 MPa. A safe stress of 35 MPa may be taken for the shaft on which
the gear is mounted. Design and sketch the spur gear drive to suit the above conditions. The starting
torque may be assumed as 1,25 times the running torque.

A two stage reduction drive is to be designed to transmit 2 kW; the input speed being 960 r.p.m. and
overall reduction ratio being 9. The drive consists of straight tooth spur gears only, the shafts being
spaced 200 mm apart, the input and output shafts being co-axial.
2 A metal block of mass m = 10 kg is sliding along a frictionless surface with an initial speed
Vo, as indicated below. The block then slides above an electromagnetic brake that applies a
force FEB to the block, opposing its motion. The magnitude of the electromagnetic force
varies quadratically with the distance moved along the brake (x):
