    Machine Element II, Assignment 1
    1. A solid shaft is transmitting 1 MW at 240 r.p.m. Determine the diameter of the shaft if
    the maximum torque transmitted exceeds the mean torque by 20%. Take the maximum
    allowable shear stress as 60 MPa.
    2. Find the diameter of a solid steel shaft to transmit 20 kW at 200 r.p.m. The ultimate
    shear stress for the steel may be taken as 360 MPa and a factor of safety as 8. If a hollow
    shaft is to be used in place of the solid shaft, find the inside and outside diameter when
    the ratio of inside to outside diameters is 0.5
    3. A pair of wheels of a railway wagon carries a load of 50 kN on each axle box, acting at a
    distance of 100 mm outside the wheel base. The gauge of the rails is 1.4 m. Find the
    diameter of the axle between the wheels, if the stress is not to exceed 100 MPa.
    4. A solid circular shaft is subjected to a bending moment of 3000 N-m and a torque of 10
    000 N-m. The shaft is made of 45 C 8 steel having ultimate tensile stress of 700 MPa and
    a ultimate shear stress of 500 MPa. Assuming a factor of safety as 6, determine the
    diameter of the shaft
    5. An engine running at 150 r.p.m. drives a line shaft by means of a belt. The engine pulley
    is 750 mm diameter and the pulley on the line shaft is 450 mm. A 900 mm diameter
    pulley on the line shaft drives a 150 mm diameter pulley keyed to a dynamo shaft. Fine
    the speed of dynamo shaft, when
    1. there is no slip, and
    2. there is a slip of 2% at each drive

    6. Design a belt drive to transmit 110 kW for a system consisting of two pulleys of
    diameters 0.9 m and 1.2 m, centre distance of 3.6 m, a belt speed 20 m / s, coefficient of
    friction 0.3, a slip of 1.2% at each pulley and 5% friction loss at each shaft, 20% over
    load
    7. A belt 100 mm wide and 10 mm thick is transmitting power at 1000 metres/min. The net
    driving tension is 1.8 times the tension on the slack side. If the safe permissible stress on
    the belt section in 1.6 MPa, calculate the maximum power, that can be transmitted at this
    speed. Assume density of the leather as 1000 kg/m3.
    Calculate the absolute maximum power that can be transmitted by this belt and the speed
    at which this can be transmitted.
    8. Two parallel shafts whose centre lines are 4.8 m apart, are connected by an open belt
    drive. The diameter of the larger pulley is 1.5 m and that of smaller pulley 1 m. The
    initial tension in the belt when stationary is 3 kN. The mass of the belt is 1.5 kg / m
    length. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.3. Taking
    centrifugal tension into account, calculate the power transmitted, when the smaller pulley
    rotates at 400 r.p.m.
    9. In a horizontal belt drive for a centrifugal blower, the blower is belt driven at 600 r.p.m.
    by a 15 kW, 1750 r.p.m. electric motor. The centre distance is twice the diameter of the
    larger pulley. The density of the belt material = 1500 kg/m3; maximum allowable stress 4
    MPa; μ1 = 0.5 (motor pulley); μ2 = 0.4 (blower pulley); peripheral velocity of the belt =
    20 m/s. Determine the following:
    1. Pulley diameters; 2. belt length; 3. cross-sectional area of the belt; 4. minimum initial
    tension for operation without slip; and 5. resultant force in the plane of the blower when
    operating with an initial tension 50 per cent greater than the minimum value
