PREFACE
The development of the critically important industry-relevant abilities and skills is the main goal of any
engineering laboratory or field work in the technical education system. In light of this, MSBTE developed
the most recent "K" Scheme curricula for engineering diploma programs, emphasizing outcome-based
learning. As a result, a sizable portion of the program is dedicated to practical work. This demonstrates
how crucial laboratory work is in helping teachers, instructors, and students understand that every minute
of lab time must be used efficiently to create these outcomes rather than wasting it on unnecessary
activities. Every practical has thus been created to operate as a "vehicle" to help each student acquire this
industry-identified capability in order to ensure the effective implementation of this outcome-based
curriculum. The "chalk and duster" practice in the classroom is a challenging way to build practical skills.
As a result, the development team of the "K" scheme laboratory manual focused on the intended results
when creating the practical, as opposed to the customary approach of performing practical’s to "verify the
theory".
This lab manual is intended to support all parties involved, particularly the students, instructors, and
teachers, in helping the students achieve the pre-established goals. It is required of every student to read
through the relevant practical process in its entirety and comprehend the bare minimum of theoretical
background related to the practical at least one day in advance of the practical. As a crucial starting point
for carrying out the practical, each exercise in this handbook starts with establishing the competency,
industry-relevant skills, course outcomes, and practical results. After that, the students will learn about the
abilities they will acquire through the process outlined there and the safety measures that must be
followed, which will enable them to use in addressing real-world situations in their professional life. This
manual also offers guidance to educators on how to manage resources so that students follow protocols
and safety measures methodically and meet learning objectives. This allows teachers and instructors to
effectively support student-centered lab activities through each practical exercise.
Machines plays an important role in many aspects of our lives, making many tasks easier and more
efficient. For example, machines are used in lift, crane. In same way globally we come across different
types of structure created for different purpose and function. While designing the machine or structure
analysis of forces and stresses is an important and prerequisite step. Correct analysis is possible only
when one knows the types and effect of force acting on the structure. This course provides the scope to
understand fundamental concepts of law of machines and their application to different engineering
problems. This course is designed to provide basic understanding about different types of forces,
moments and their effects on structural elements, which will analyses different structural systems.
Although best possible care has been taken to check for errors (if any) in this laboratory manual,
perfection may elude us as this is the first edition of this manual. Any errors and suggestions for
improvement are solicited and highly welcome.

Practical No. 2: Determine mechanical advantage and velocity ratio of


differential axle and wheel for different load and efforts.
I. Practical Significance
There is often a need to lift loads and different lifting machines are used depending on the
type of load, intensity of the load and other site conditions. Differential axle and wheel
machines are used to lift smaller loads in confined spaces. After conducting this
experiment, a graduate engineer will be able to assess the suitability of the differential axle
and wheel based on the given load lifting situation.
II. Industry/Employer Expected Outcomes
Apply the principles of engineering mechanics to analyze, design and automation the
prototypes and equipment's of various industries.
III. Course Level Learning Outcome(s)
CO1-Select the suitable machine under given loading condition.
IV. Laboratory Learning Outcome(s)
Verify law of machine under the given condition.
V. Relevant Affective Domain related Outcome(s)
a. Follow safety practices and precautions.
b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
Differential axle and wheel: It is different from simple axle and wheel machine because of
its axle configuration. Instead of prismatic single axle in simple wheel and axle, step down
axles is used in differential axle and wheel. This machine has a better mechanical advantage
as compared to single axle and wheel. Two axles of different diameters are coaxially fitted
with the spindle with which a wheel is also coaxially attached. The effort is applied through
a wrapped string wound around this wheel. Another string is wound over two axles and
carries load with the help of movable pulley. The rope on the wheel and smaller axle are
wound in the same direction, whereas that on the larger axle is in opposite direction. When
an effort is applied through the wheel, the rope on the wheel and smaller axle get sun
wound but gets wound on the larger axle, thus lifting the load.

IX. Precautions to be followed
1. The reading must be taken and noted down carefully.
2. The load and effort should move slowly.
3. Effort must be applied gradually.
4. Any overlapping of the string must be avoided.
5. There should be no knot in the string.
6. Only light weights must be used during the course of experiment.
X. Procedure

b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
Worm and Worm Wheel: A worm is square-threaded screw and worm wheel is a toothed wheel.
In this machine, a worm and worm wheel are geared together maintaining their axes at right angles
to each other. An effort wheel or pulley is attached tothe worm coaxially so that effort can be
applied through a rope wound over the pulley. A load is securely mounted coaxially on worm
wheel and load is connected with a separate rope wound around the load drum. For single rotation
of effort wheel, effort traverses a distance= πD. For an n- threaded worm, worm pushes the worm
wheel through one tooth during single rotation of effort wheel. If the total number of teeth in a
worm wheel is T push of one tooth means the load drum traverses through (n/T) rotations.
Thus, when the radius of load drum is r, distance moved by the load= 2 π r X (n/T).
Therefore, the velocity ratio,

There is often a need to lift loads and different lifting machines are used depending on the type of
load, intensity of the load and other site conditions. The single purchase crab machine is used for
lifting heavy loads in confined spaces. After carrying out this experiment, a qualified engineer can

V. Relevant Affective Domain related Outcome(s)
a. Follow safety practices and precautions.
b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
Single Purchase Crab: Crab and winch are machines used for hoisting heavy loads applying
smaller amount of effort. These machines use gear systems in order to augment velocity ratio.
Depending on the number of gear assemblies, crab and winch systems can be classified into two
types single and double purchase crab.
In single purchase crab, one set of gears, one pinion of teeth T1 and one spur wheel of teeth T2
are deployed. The pinion is fixed coaxially with the effort axle and effort pulley. Generally, a rope
is wound around the effort wheel of diameter D through effort is applied. Effort then moves the
pinion and thereby the spur wheel gets rotated. As the spur wheel is mounted coaxially with the
load drum of diameter d, the load drum will get rotated. A strong rope is attached with load drum,
at the end of which load is connected. Thus, the load is lifted by the rotation of the effort wheel.
For a single rotation of effort wheel, distance travelled by effort= π D. For single rotation of
pinion, spur wheel and thereby the load drum rotate= T1/T2 times. So, displacement of
load = πd x (T1 /T2)
𝐷 X 𝑇2
Hence, Velocity Ratio (V. R. ) =
d X 𝑇1
Where,
D = Diameter of effort wheel
d = Diameter of load drum
T1 = No. of teeth on the pinion wheel
T2 = No. of thread on spur wheel.

c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
Double Purchase Crab: Crab and winch are machines used for hoisting heavy loads applying
smaller amount of effort. These machines use gear systems in order to augment velocity ratio.
Depending on the number of gear assemblies, crab and winch systems can be classified into two
types single and double purchase crab.
In double purchase crab machine, two sets of gear assemblies are used. One additional axle, called
an intermediate axle, is deployed. The pinion of teeth T1, mounted on effort wheel axle meshes
with spur wheel of teeth T2, mounted on the intermediate axel.
Similarly, the pinion of teeth T3, on intermediate axle meshes with spur wheel of teeth T4,
mounted on the load drum. A rope is wound around the effort wheel of diameter D through effort
is applied and load is attached to another rope wound around the load drum. Effort then moves the
pinion and thereby the spur wheel gets rotated. As the spur wheel is mounted intermediate axle it
gets rotated. As intermediate axle rotates the load drum of diameter d, will get rotated. A strong
rope is attached with load drum, at the end of which load is connected. Thus, the load is lifted by
the rotation of the effort wheel.
For a single rotation of the effort wheel, distance travelled by effort= π D. For single rotation of
pinion, on effort axle, spur wheel on intermediate axle rotates= T1/T2 times. Now the pinion on
the intermediate axle also rotates= T1/T2 times. So, the spur wheel of the load drum rotates=
(T1/T2) x (T3/T4) times. Thus, the displacement of load = πd X (T1/T2) x (T3/T4)

circumference of the wheel. A screw thread is cut just like an inclined plane. The distance which
the screw advances in one tum is called lead distance and distance measured between two
consecutive threads is called pitch distance. The screw jack works on the principle similar to that
of an inclined plane.

Practical No. 6: Determine mechanical advantage and velocity ratio of


Weston's differential pulley for different load and effort.
I. Practical Significance
There is often a need to lift loads and different lifting machines are used depending on the type of
load, intensity of the load and other site conditions. Weston's differential pulley block is used for
lifting heavy loads in confined spaces. After conducting this experiment, a graduate engineer can
evaluate the suitability of the Weston differential pulley block based on the given load lifting
situation.
II. Industry/Employer Expected Outcomes
Apply the principles of engineering mechanics to analyze, design and automation the prototypes
and equipment’s of various industries
III. Course Level Learning Outcome(s)
CO1-Select the suitable machine under given loading condition.
IV. Laboratory Learning Outcome(s)
Verify law of machine under the given condition.
V. Relevant Affective Domain related Outcome(s)
a. Follow safety practices and precautions.
b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
Weston's Differential Pulley Block: This differential pulley block was invented by Thomas
Aldridge Weston from king's Norton, England, in 1854. Hence, this simple machine is also called
as Weston's differential pulley block. This is a special type of pulley system, which is normally
used to hoist very large masses to small distance, for example, the pulley system is used for
manually lifting car engines. This system consists of two fixed pulleys of unequal radii, which are
coaxially attached to each other and can rotate together and are fixed to the support, a single
pulley hanging at the bottom and holding load and an endless rope wrapped around the pulleys. In
order to avoid slipping, generally rope is substituted by a chain and connected to pulleys by
sprockets (i.e. tooth or cogs on pulleys). The displacement of the effort in one revolution of upper
pulley block = πD. This is also equal to length of the chain pulled over the large pulley. Since the
smaller pulley also turns with the larger one, therefore length of the chain released by the smaller
pulley = πd. Net shortening of the chain = πD- πd = π (D-d). This shortening of chain will be
equally divided between the portion of the chain, supporting the load. Therefore, the distance the
load moves up by a distance π (D-d)/2.

b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
Worm Gear Pulley Block: In a gear pulley block, an axle is coaxially attached to an effort wheel
having T1 number teeth. A pinion having teeth T2 and a ratchet and clutch are attached coaxially
on the axle. A pawl presses against this ratchet and clutch with the help of a spring. The pinion is
geared with a spur wheel having teeth T3. On the same axle as spur wheel a load drum having
teeth T4 is keyed on its circumference. An endless rope or chain is wound over effort wheel with
which the effort is applied. The motion is transmitted from effort wheel to load drum through
pinion and spur wheel. A separate rope is wound around half the perimeter of load drum. One end
of it is fixed to the frame and other end holds the load. When the load is hoisted, the ratchet passes
under the pawl. On the removal of effort, the pawl prevents the load from falling down. Hence, it
is self-locking arrangement. In single rotation of effort wheel, effort moves through a distance
proportional to Ti. At the same time, the spur wheel and the load drum rotate by (T2/Ti) of a
rotation. In single rotation of load drum, the load is lifted through distance proportional to 4. So
far, a single rotation of effort wheel, the load is lifted by a distance (T2/T3) x T4.

Practical No. 10: Verify law of moment of forces using law of moment apparatus
for given forces.
I. Practical Significance
The Principle of Moments states that when a body is balanced, the total clockwise moment about
a point equals the total anticlockwise moment about the same point. The real examples on
moment of force in real life are the opening and closing of a door along a fixed hinge, a seesaw,
and unscrewing a nut with a spanner.

Fig.10.1
When an object is balanced on a pivot the turning effect of the forces on one side of the pivot
must balance the turning effect of the forces on the other side of the pivot - if they didn't it would
not balance. In the picture (Fig.10.1) two girls are sitting on a see saw. They have moved until it is
balanced. They are the same weight and so to balance the see saw they must sit the same distance
from the pivot.

Fig.10.2
In the picture (Fig.10.2) one of the girls gets off and a man sits on instead. They move until the
see saw is balanced. The girl is much lighter than the man and so she has to sit further away from
the pivot then he does so that she can balance his extra weight.
You should remember that the turning effect of a force is called the moment of the force and is
found by multiplying the force by its distance from the pivot. When the see saw is balanced we
say that the anticlockwise moments (those trying to turn the object anticlockwise) equal the
Clockwise moments (those trying to turn the object clockwise). In our example the man's weight
tries to turn the see saw clockwise and the girl's weight tries to turn it anticlockwise.

Engineering Mechanics (312312)

II. Industry/Employer Expected Outcomes


Moment of force has numerous applications in various fields of science and engineering,
including in automobiles (torque is used to measure the power output of an engine), in robotics,
torque is used to control the movement of robot arms and joints. Industrial machinery, torque is
Used to measure the effectiveness of machines. Moment of force is used in sports such as
gymnastics, diving, and ice skating to perform complex rotational movements. Moment of force is
used in biology to understand the mechanics of biological systems, such as the motion of joints in
the human body.
III. Course Level Learning Outcome(s)
CO2 - Analyze the given force system to calculate resultant force

Practical No. 11: Verify the Lamis theorem using Universal force table
apparatus for given forces.
I. Practical Significance
Lami's theorem relates the magnitudes of coplanar, concurrent and non-collinear forces that
maintain an object in static equilibrium. The theorem is very useful in analyzing most of the
mechanical as well as structural systems.
Lami’s theorem has been obtained from the Sine Rule for triangles. By representing the forces as
lines as in a free-body diagram and translating them in such a way that one head touches the tail
of another, then it will be noticed that when there are three forces, if they are supposed to cancel
each other, they resultantly form a triangle. If they are not supposed to cancel each other, they
form an open curve. The Sine Rule is only applicable for triangles only and hence Lami's
Theorem is only applicable to three forces, but not for the 'n' number of forces.
II. Industry/Employer Expected Outcomes
After Studying this Practical Students will be able to find tension in string in three coplanar,

a. Follow safety practices and precautions.
b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
If three coplanar forces acting at a point are in equilibrium then each force is directly proportional
to the Sin of the angle included between the other two forces. By using simple weights, pulleys &
strings placed around a circular table, several forces can be applied to an object located in the
centre of the table in such a way that the forces exactly cancel each other, leaving the objects in
equilibrium (the object will appear to be at rest). Force table and Newton‘s First Law is used to
study the components at the force vector.

Practical No. 12: Determine support reaction of simply supported beam using
parallel forces of beam reaction apparatus for given vertical
forces.
I. Practical Significance
A simply supported beam is one whose ends are resting freely on two supports that provide only
vertical reaction. Typical practical applications of simply supported beams with point loadings
include bridges, beams and beds of machine tools.
II. Industry/Employer Expected Outcomes
After Studying this Practical Students will be able to find support reactions of beam which further
use for analysis of beam.
III. Course Level Learning Outcome(s)
CO3 - Determine unknown force(s) of given load combinations in the given situation.
IV. Laboratory Learning Outcome(s)
Analyse the given force system acting on structural element.
V. Relevant Affective Domain related Outcome(s)
a. Follow safety practices and precautions.
b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
The beam is said to be simply supported beam when only vertical reaction, at supports exist. In
this experiment this condition is achieved by applying only vertical forces. The test is based on
the ‘Principle of Moments.’ It states that if a system of coplanar forces acts on a rigid body, and
the body remains in equilibrium despite the forces being acted upon, the summation of all the
vertical forces acting on the body is zero, the summation of all the horizontal forces is zero and
the algebraic sum of their moments at any point inside the plane is also zero.
Mathematically:
The body will be in equilibrium, if
ΣH =0 i.e. the algebraic sum of all horizontal forces is zero.
ΣV =0 i.e. the algebraic sum of all Vertical forces is zero.
ΣM =0 i.e. the algebraic sum of all moments about a point is zero.
Parallel force apparatus to find support reaction of a simply supported beam meter scale, weights
etc.
The apparatus consists of a graduated wooden beam supported at its ends on spring balance OR
Dial type balance. The balance facilitates to read the reaction due to applied loads directly. The
detachable hangers hold the desired load resting in the grooves.

Practical No. 13: Determine coefficient of friction using friction apparatus for
given block on horizontal plane
I. Practical Significance
Friction is defined as resistive force offered by the surfaces that are in contact. When we kick a
football it rolls for some distance and after that it stops after rolling for some time. This is because
of the friction force between the ground and the ball. In this case force that is acting opposite to
the motion of the ball and stops the ball is called the friction. Due to friction human can easily
walk on surface without slipping. When a body is dragged along the rough plane friction force is
more as compare to smooth surface because there is less interlocking between smooth surfaces
Friction is very helpful in our daily activities like walking, running. Hence life would be very
difficult without friction.
II. Industry/Employer Expected Outcomes
Student will be able to apply the knowledge of frictional forces in automobile industries (braking
system brings the vehicle to a stop). In construction industries (While making roads, runways and
highways) etc.
III. Course Level Learning Outcome(s)
CO4-Apply the laws of friction in the given situation.
IV. Laboratory Learning Outcome(s)
Verify laws of forces related to forces.
V. Relevant Affective Domain related Outcome(s)
a. Follow safety practices and precautions.
b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
When there is a motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact the Friction exists.
The frictional force is opposite to the motion. It some practical situations the friction is required to
reduce using lubrication. When the force causes the motion increases, the frictional force is also
increased proportionately. Hence when the both are at the point of motion the frictional force is
Maximum. This friction is known as Limiting Friction. Normal Reaction(R): The reaction which
is right angle to the plane of motion is called as normal reaction. Coefficient of friction (µ):Is
defined as ratio of limiting friction to normal reaction.

Practical No. 15: Verify centroid of plane figure of given dimensions by


making simple paper model
I. Practical Significance
We use various types of shapes, lamina, and composite bars/wires in the constructions, in
machines and mechanisms for different purposes. Specific shape is chosen for cross section of a
beam, column and other structural member. One of the most important geometric property of the
shapes is center of gravity or centroid. The plane figure like circle triangle square has only area,
but no mass. The centre of area of plane figure is known as centroid.
II. Industry/Employer Expected Outcomes
Apply the principles of engineering mechanics to find out centroid of different structural cross-
section such as Beam, Column, Dam and Retaining wall etc.
III. Course Level Learning Outcome(s)
CO5- Determine the centroid/centre of gravity of the structural elements of having specific shape
and size.
IV. Laboratory Learning Outcome(s)
Apply the concept of centroid for given objects.
V. Relevant Affective Domain related Outcome(s)
a. Follow safety practices and precautions.
b. Demonstrate working as a leader/a team member.
c. Maintain tools and equipment.
VI. Relevant Theoretical Background
Centre of gravity: The centre of gravity of a body is that point through which the resultant of the
system of parallel forces formed by the weights of all the particles of the body passes. for all
positions of the body.
Centre of Mass: The point at which the whole mass of a body is supposed to be concentrated is
known as centre of mass.
Centroid:Is is the point at which whole area of the body is supposed to be concentrated.
