The document contains 12 problems related to friction and mechanical devices that utilize friction such as screw jacks, bearings, and inclined planes. Problem 1 asks the student to calculate the tangential force and mechanical efficiency of a bench vice. Problem 2 involves calculating the load that can be lifted by a screw jack and its velocity ratio and efficiency. Problem 3 requires deriving an expression for the frictional torque in a conical pivot bearing and calculating the power lost to friction.

UNIT 2 1. (a) The movable jaw of a bench vice is at the upper end of a hinged arm 0.

5 m long, the centre line of the screw being 400 mm above the hinge. The screw is of 25 mm outside diameter, and has 6 mm pitch. The mean radius of the thrust collar is 30 mm. Find the tangential force to be applied to the screw at a radius of 300 mm to produce a force of 6 kN at the jaw. Also find the mechanical efficiency of the vice. (b) Derive an expression for the least force required to drag a body on a rough horizontal plane. 2. The spindle of a screw jack has single start square threads with an outside diameter of 45 mm and a pitch of 10 mm. The spindle moves in a fixed nut. The load is carried on a swivel head, but is not free to rotate. The bearing surface of the swivel head has a mean diameter of 60 mm. The coefficient of friction between the nut and screw is 0.12, and that between the swivel head and the spindle is 0.10. Calculate the load which can be raised by e orts of 100 N each, applied at the end of two levers, each of effective length 350 mm. Also determine the velocity ratio and the e efficiency of the lifting arrangement. 3. A truncated conical pivot of cone angle and rotating at a speed N supports a load W.

( Here = means 2 ) 4. The thrust on the propeller shaft of a marine engine is taken by 8 collars whose external and internal diameters are 650 mm and 400 mm respectively. The thrust pressure is 0.5 MPa and may be assumed uniform. The coefficient of friction between the shaft and collars is 0.04. If the shaft rotates at 120 rpm, and (a) the total thrust on the collars, and (b) the power absorbed by friction at the bearing. 5.
