1. Consider the steel spring in the illustration:


a) Find the spring rate. Assume the material is A227 HD steel, N=12 turn
b) Find the shear stress in the spring due to the force F=81.9 N

2. Find the spring rate (scale of spring) and solid length for each squared-and-ground-ended helical
compression spring

3. A 17-tooth spur pinion has a diametral pitch of 8 teeth/in, runs at 1120 rev/min, and
drives a gear at a speed of 544 rev/min. Find the number of teeth on the gear and the
theoretical center-to-center distance

4. A 21-tooth spur pinion mates with a 28-tooth gear. The diametral pitch is 3 teeth/in and
the pressure angle is 20◦. Make a drawing of the gears showing one tooth on each gear.
Find and tabulate the following results: the addendum, dedendum, clearance, circular
pitch, tooth thickness, and base-circle diameters; the lengths of the arc of approach,
recess, and action; and the base pitch and contact ratio.

5. The figure shows an internal rim-type brake having an inside rim diameter of 12 in and a
dimension R= 5 in. The shoes have a face width of 1 ½ in and are both actuated by a
force of 500 lbf. The mean coefficient of friction is 0.28.
a) Find the maximum pressure and indicate the shoe on which it occurs.
b) Estimate the braking torque effected by each shoe, and find the total braking torque.
c) Estimate the resulting hinge-pin reactions.

6. The figure shows a 400-mm-diameter brake drum with four internally expanding shoes.
Each of the hinge pins A and B supports a pair of shoes. The actuating mechanism is to be
arranged to produce the same force F on each shoe. The face width of the shoes is 75
mm. The material used permits a coefficient of friction of 0.24 and a maximum pressure
of 1000 kPa.
a) Determine the actuating force.
