Dynamics:- It is that branch of mechanics which deals with the motion of bodies under the action
of forces.Dynamics has two distinct two parts.
1.kinematics:- It is the study of motion without reference to the forces which cause motion.
I. Sliding friction:- It is friction between two bodies which slide over each other.
II. Rolling Friction:- It is the friction between two bodies which has balls and rollers
interposed between them.
III. Pivot friction:- It is the friction experienced by a body while in rotation as in case of
footstep bearing.
Limiting friction:-Maximum value of frictional force which comes into play when abody just
begins to slide over the surface of the body.
Co-efficient Of Friction:-It is the ratio between the frictional force and normal reaction force.
µ=F/R
µ=2π(2)S/gT(2)
£F=0 , £M=0
There are two pulleys on the rod.two reactions are acting on the pulley.R1 on pulley A and R2 on
pulley B.Weight of the steel rod is W.Distance between the A and B is S.Weight of steel acts at
distance X.
At “A” £M=0
At “B” £M=0
R1=W(S/2-X)/S eq.3
F1=µW(S/2-X)/S similarly
F2= µW(S/2+X)/S
F=F1+F2
F= µW/S(-2X)
F=-2µWX/S
Also, F=ma
a=F/m=Fg/w
a=2µXg/S
T=2 π √ XS /2 µ Xg
T=2 π√ S /2 µ g
T(2)=4π(2) / 2 µ g
µ=2π(2)S/gT(2)
Data:-
S=.625ft/sec
T=.925sec ; g=32.2ft/sec(2)
µ=2π(2)S/gT(2)
µ=.14
Comments:-
Precautions:- Following precautions should be taken into considerations while performing this
experiment.
I. Pulleys were not rotated at the constant speed which caused error in the reading.
II. Friction between the steel rule and pulley also caused the error in the reading.
III. There was slight error in measuring time.Stopwatch was not made on and off at the right
time.
IV. Pulleys were rusted therefore it also caused error in the reading.
Experiment No.2:- To calculate the mechanical advantage,velocity ratio and efficiency of a
simple gear train
Gear train:- Two or more gears are made to mesh with each other to transmit power from one
shaft to another.
Simple Gear Train:- When there is only one gear on each shaft then it is known as simple gear
train.
“Gears that are inserted in one plane are called simple gear train”
In following simple gear mechanism is shown.Gear 1 drives the gear 2 therefore gear 1 is called the
driver and the gear 2 is called the driven or follower.

Velocity ratio:-Velocity ratio of gear train is the ratio of the driver to the speed of driver to the
speed of the driven or follower and ratio of any pair of gears in mesh is the inverse of their number of
teeth.
Speed ratio=N1/ N2=T2/T1
