1 Explain the concept of Grashoff's law and its significance in planning planar mechanisms.

2 Given the position function of a slider crank mechanism as, x = cos (2𝜋t), calculate the
velocity and acceleration of the slider at t = 0.5 seconds.

3 Explain the term "contact ratio" in gear design and its importance in minimizing noise and
wear in gear systems

4 Given the motion requirements for a Cam follower system, evaluate the suitability of a knife
edge follower versus a roller follower.

5 Define slip and creep in belt drives and discuss their effects on power transmission efficiency.

6 Find the speed of a shaft that is driven with the help of a belt of thickness 10 mm by an engine
running at 200 rpm. The diameter of the engine pulley is 51 cm and that of the shaft is 30 cm.

7 Design a mechanism that converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion, considering
specific requirements such as stroke length, speed, and force transmission. Justify your design
choices.

8 Critically analyze the advantages and limitations of graphical methods versus analytical
methods for determining the velocity and acceleration of machine components. Provide examples to
support your argument.

9 Investigate the influence of gear parameters such as module, pressure angle, and face width
on a spur gear pair's contact ratio and efficiency. Present your findings with relevant calculations and
graphs.
10Draw the profile of a cam operating a knife edge follower when the follower's axis passes through
the camshaft's axis from the following data (a) Follower to move outward through 40 mm with simple
harmonic motion during 45⸰ of cam rotation. (b) Follower to dwell for the next 60⸰. (c) Follower to
return to its original position with uniform velocity during the next 90 ⸰ of cam rotation (d) Follower
to dwell for the rest of the cam rotation

11A shaft running at 200 rpm is to drive a parallel shaft at 300 rpm. The pulley on the driving shaft is
60 cm diameter. Calculate the diameter of the pulley on the driven shaft: (a) neglecting the belt
thickness (b) taking belt thickness of 5 mm into account and (c) assuming the thick belt with a total
slip of 4%.
