Friction Questions

1. An effort of 1500 N is required to just move a certain body up an inclined plane of angle
12o force acting parallel to the plane. If the angle of inclination is increased to 15º, then
the effort required is 1720 N. Find the weight of the body and the coefficient of friction.
2. A vertical screw with single start square threads 50 mm mean diameter and 12.5 mm
pitch is raised against a load of 10 kN by means of a hand wheel, the boss of which is
threaded to act as a nut. The axial load is taken up by a thrust collar which supports the
wheel boss and has a mean diameter of 60 mm. If the coefficient of friction is 0.15 for the
screw and 0.18 for the collar and the tangential force applied by each hand to the wheel is
100 N ; find suitable diameter of the hand wheel.
3. A square threaded bolt of root diameter 22.5 mm and pitch 5 mm is tightened by
screwing a nut whose mean diameter of bearing surface is 50 mm. If coefficient of
friction for nut and bolt is 0.1 and for nut and bearing surface 0.16, find the force required
at the end of a spanner 500 mm long when the load on the bolt is 10 kN.
4. The pitch of 50 mm mean diameter threaded screw of a screw jack is 12.5 mm. The
coefficient of friction between the screw and the nut is 0.13. Determine the torque
required on the screw to raise a load of 25 kN, assuming the load to rotate with the screw.
Determine the ratio of the torque required to raise the load to the torque required to lower
the load and also the efficiency of the machine.
5. A conical pivot supports a load of 20 kN, the cone angle is 120º and the intensity of
normal pressure is not to exceed 0.3 N/mm2. The external diameter is twice the internal
diameter. Find the outer and inner radii of the bearing surface. If the shaft rotates at 200
r.p.m. and the coefficient of friction is 0.1, find the power absorbed in friction. Assume
uniform pressure.
6. A thrust shaft of a ship has 6 collars of 600 mm external diameter and 300 mm internal
diameter. The total thrust from the propeller is 100 kN. If the coefficient of friction is
0.12 and speed of the engine 90 r.p.m., find the power absorbed in friction at the thrust
block, assuming l. uniform pressure; and 2. uniform wear
7. A single dry plate clutch transmits 7.5 kW at 900 r.p.m. The axial pressure is limited to
0.07 N/mm2. If the coefficient of friction is 0.25, find 1. Mean radius and face width of
the friction lining assuming the ratio of the mean radius to the face width as 4, and 2.
Outer and inner radii of the clutch plate.
8. A plate clutch has three discs on the driving shaft and two discs on the driven shaft,
providing four pairs of contact surfaces. The outside diameter of the contact surfaces is
240 mm and inside diameter 120 mm. Assuming uniform pressure and µ = 0.3; find the
total spring load pressing the plates together to transmit 25 kW at 1575 r.p.m. If there are
6 springs each of stiffness 13 kN/m and each of the contact surfaces has worn away by
1.25 mm, find the maximum power that can be transmitted, assuming uniform wear.
9. A conical friction clutch is used to transmit 90 kW at 1500 r.p.m. The semicone angle is
20º and the coefficient of friction is 0.2. If the mean diameter of the bearing surface is
375 mm and the intensity of normal pressure is not to exceed 0.25 N/mm2, find the
dimensions of the conical bearing surface and the axial load required.
10. The mean diameter of the screw jack having pitch of 10 mm is 50 mm. A load of 20 kN
is lifted through a distance of 170 mm. Find the work done in lifting the load and
efficiency of the screw jack when
1. the load rotates with the screw, and
2. the load rests on the loose head which does not rotate with the screw.
The external and internal diameter of the bearing surface of the loose head are 60 mm and
10 mm respectively. The coefficient of friction for the screw as well as the bearing
surface may be taken as 0.08.
