    Experiment Name: DIFFERENTIAL AXLE AND WHEEL

    Aim:To study the performance of differential axle and wheel and find its velocity ratio, efficiency and
    law of machine

    Apparatus: Differential axle and wheel consisting of effort wheel, larger axle, smaller axle, thread, pan,
    weights

    Theory:

    i. Parts of machine: Differential axle and wheel consisting of effort wheel, larger axle and
    smaller axle.
    ii. Working of machine: The load axle is made up of two parts to the same shaft which is
    mounted on the shaft ball bearing in order to reduce the frictional resistance. The effort
    string is wound around the axle to which the effort pan is attached.
    iii. Velocity Ratio: In one revolution of effort wheel, displacement of effort wheel is Sp = πD1
    Distance travelled by load = (πd1-πd2)/2 Sw = (πd1-πd2)/2 Therefore V.R. = Sp / Sw =
    (πD1) / ((πd1-πd2)/2) = 2 πD1 / (πd1-πd2)

    Procedure:

    i. Check that string is wound properly on wheel A, B, and C.


    ii. Different loads are applied and corresponding efforts are recorded.
    iii. To keep friction constant readings are taken at particular point.
    iv. From above observation V.R., M.A., and efficiency of machine are calculated.

    Observations:

    1. Circumference of Effort wheel: πD1

    2. Circumference of bigger axle: πd1

    3. Circumference of smaller axle: πd2

    4. Distance travelled by effort: Sp = πD1

    5. Distance travelled by load: Sw= (πd1-πd2)/2

    6. Velocity Ratio = Sp/Sw = (πD1) / ((πd1-πd2)/2) = 2 πD1 / (πd1-πd2)

    Observation Table:

    Sl. No. Load(W) Effort (Pa) M.A= W/Pa η% = Pi =W/V.R Pf = Pa-Pi


    (N) (N) W/V.R

    Result:

    i. V.R. of machine =
    ii. Efficiency of machine =
    iii. Percentage of efficiency of machine =
    iv. Law of machine is given as P = mW+C

    Conclusion:

    i. As the efficiency is greater than 50%, machine is reversible.


    ii. Velocity ratio remains constant.
    iii. Effort of machine increases with load.
    iv. Graph of effort against load is a straight line represents linear motion.
