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. Ruins 20 LW at 100 nm to another shaft running approxi
6. 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): 10 FEB = kx², with k = 5 N m² V₁ = 8 m/s m = 10 kg FEB Frictionless surface Electromagnetic brake ⇒x Determine how far the block slides along the electromagnetic brake before stopping, in m.
