Question 1
Derive an expression for the torque required to raise a load using a square threaded power screw.
[20]
Question 2
A solid shaft and a hollow shaft are to be of equal strength in torsion. The hollow shaft is to be
10% larger in diameter than the solid shaft and is to be made from the same material as the solid
shaft. What will be the ratio of the weight of the hollow shaft to that of the solid shaft?
[20]
Question 3
A double threaded worm drive is required for power transmission between two shafts having

their axes at right angles to each other. The worm has 14 full depth involute teeth. The centre

distance is approximately 200 mm. If the axial pitch of the worm is 30 mm and lead angle is 23o,
find
(a) The lead, [5]
(b) The pitch circle diameters of worm and gear, [10]
(c) Helix angle of the worm. [5]
Question 4
Two steel bevel gears, both having Brinell hardness of 250, connect two shafts at 90o. The teeth

are 14 full depth and the module is 4. The number of teeth on the pinion and gear are 30 and

48 respectively; and the face width is 40 mm. determine the wear load given the information in
Table Q4. [20]

Question 5
A v-belt operates on two sheaves having pitch diameters of 250 mm and 800 mm. The groove
angle of the sheaves is 36o and the contact angle of the small sheave is 140o. The maximum
allowable belt load is 900 N and the v-belt mass is 0.523 kg/m. The smaller sheave rotates at
1150 r.p.m, and 26 kW is to be transmitted. For a coefficient of friction of 0.2, how many belts
should be used, assuming each one takes its proportional part of the load? [20]
Question 6
For a problem of your choice, outline the stages you would undertake to fulfil the stated need.
[20]
Question 7
A bronze spur pinion (So = 83 MPa) rotating at 600 r.p.m drives a cast steel spur gear (So = 103
MPa) at a transmission ratio of 4 to 1. The pinion has 16 standard 20o full depth involute teeth of
module 8. The face width of both gears is 90 mm. How much power can be transmitted from the
standpoint of strength? [20]
