UNIT I FORCE

ANALYSIS PART

1. Distinguish between crank effort and piston effort


(AP/May 2017, May /June 2012, Nov / Dec 2012)
Crank effort: It is the net effort (force) applied at the crank pin perpendicular to the
crank, which gives the required turning moment on the crank shaft.
Piston effort: It is the net force applied on the piston, along the line of stroke.

2. Define coefficient of fluctuation of energy. (Nov / Dec 2015)


The ratio of the maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed is called the

r member, (i) Specify the conditions for static equilibrium. (ii) Conditions for static equilibrium of a two- forces a

4. Define the terms inertia force and inertia torque. (Nov / Dec 2016, Nov / Dec
2010)
 The inertia of the body that opposes the external force is known as inertia
force
 The inertia of the body that opposes the external torque is known as
inertia torque
5. State D‟Alembert‟s principle. (Nov / Dec 2011,May/June 2016)
D‟Alembert‟s principle states that the inertia forces and torques, and the
external forces and torques acting on a body together result in statical
equilibrium. In other
words, the vector sum of all external forces acting upon a system of rigid bodies
is zero. The vector sum of all external moments and inertia torques acting upon a
system of rigid bodies is also separately zero.

6. What is the purpose of flywheel? How will you differentiate the function of
governor in engine with flywheel? (Nov / Dec 2016, Nov / Dec 2011 , Nov /
Dec 2012)
 The function of a governor is to regulate the mean speed of an
engine, when there are variations in the load.
 The function of a flywheel is to reduce the fluctuations of speed
caused by the fluctuation of the engine turning moment during each
cycle of operation.

7. Distinguish between static force and inertia force. ( May /June 2013)
 While analyzing the mechanism, if mass of the body and inertia force
are not considered, then it is called static force.
 Inertia Force Is A Fictitious Force Which When Acts Upon A Rigid
Body, Brings It In An Equilibrium

8. What is engine shaking force? (May /June 2013)


The force produces in an engine due to the mass of the piston, and
mass of the connecting rod is called engine shaking force.

9. Write the conditions for any distributed mass have the same dynamical
properties. (Nov / Dec
2013)
(i) The mass of the rigid body must equal to the sum of masses of two
concentrated masses, i.e. m1 +m2 = m
(ii) The centre of gravity of the two masses must concide with the centre of
gravity of the rigid body. i.e., m1 × l1 = m2 × l2
(iii) The sum of mass moment of inertia of two masses about their centre of
gravity is equal to the mass moment of the rigid body.

10. he length of the crank and connecting rod of vertical reciprocating engine
are 300mm and 1.5 m respectively. If the crank rotates at 200 rpm, Find
the velocity of the piston at θ = 400 (Nov / Dec 2015)
Given Data:
= 300mm = 0.3m
= 1.5m
N =200
θ = 400

To find:
The velocity of the piston

Solution

= = = 20.93rad/s

= = = 0.2

Velocity of the piston when θ = 400

= 1.5 × 20.93
= 97.01m/s
