2. The nominal diameter of a triple threaded square screw is 50 mm, while the pitch is 8 mm. It is used
with a collar having an outer diameter of 100 mm and inner diameter as 65 mm. The coefficient of
friction at the thread surface as well as at the collar surface can be taken as 0.15. The screw is used
to raise a load of 15 kN. Using the uniform wear theory for collar friction, calculate: torque required
to raise the load. (VB Bhandari) & class notes

3. A C-clamp is subjected to a maximum load of W, as shown in Fig.2 If the maximum tensile stress in
the clamp is limited to 140 MPa, find the value of load W. Given the neutral axis and centroidal axis

4. The lead screw of lathe has ACME threads of 50mm outside diameter and 8 mm pitch. The
screw must exert an axial pressure of 2500N in order to drive the tool carriage. The thrust is
carried on a collar 110mm outside diameter and 55mm inside diameter and lead screw rotates
at 30r.p.m. Derive the power required to drive the screw. Assume coefficient of friction of 0.15

1.2 m, center 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. (khurmi &gupta pg.no:702) 18.7.

stress of 280 MPa. Determine the thickness and width of the steel spring leaves. The ratio of the total
depth to the width of the spring is 3. (khurmi &gupta pg.no:875) 23.24.

groove angle are 150° and 45° respectively. Find the number of ropes required for the drive if the
coefficient of friction between the rope and the pulley is 0.3(khurmi &gupta pg.no:757)exercise7.

V-pulley operating at 1800 r.p.m. to a 900 mm diameter flat pulley. The centre distance is 1 m, the

sectional area are used. (khurmi &gupta pg.no:738) 20.5

12. A vertical screw with single start square threads of 50 mm mean diameter and 2.5 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

applied by each hand to the wheel is 100 N, find suitable diameter of the hand wheel. (khurmi
