Assignment – 1 (DOM)
S. No Question CO BL
1 An aeroplane makes a complete half circle of 50 metres radius, 1 3
towards left, when flying at 200 km per hr. The rotary engine and the
propeller of the plane has a mass of 400 kg and a radius of gyration
of 0.3 m. The engine rotates at 2400 r.p.m. clockwise when viewed
from the rear. Find the gyroscopic couple on the aircraft and state its
effect on it.
2 The turbine rotor of a ship has a mass of 3500 kg. It has a radius of 1 3
gyration of 0.45 m and a speed of 3000 r.p.m. clockwise when
looking from stern. Determine the gyroscopic couple and its effect
upon the ship: 1. when the ship is steering to the left on a curve of
100 m radius at a speed of 36 km/h. 2. when the ship is pitching in a
simple harmonic motion, the bow falling with its maximum velocity.
The period of pitching is 40 seconds and the total angular
displacement between the two extreme positions of pitching is 12
degrees.
3 What is a Gyroscopic couple? Derive an expression for its 1 2
magnitude.
4 Each arm of a porter governor is 250mm long. The upper and lower 1 3
arms are pivoted to links of 40 mm and 50 mm respectively from the
axis of rotation. Each ball has a mass of 5 kg and the sleep masses 50
kg. The force of friction on the sleep of the mechanism is 14 N.
Determine the range of speed of the governor for extreme radii of
rotation of 125 mm and 150 mm.
5 In a spring loaded Hartnell type governor, the extreme radii of 1 3
rotation of the balls are 80 mm and 120 mm. The ball arm and the
sleeve arm of the bell crank lever are equal in length. The mass of
each ball is 2 kg. If the speeds at the two extreme positions are 400
and 420 r.p.m., find : 1. the initial compression of the central spring,
and 2. the spring constant.
6 Explain the terms: 1 2
a. Sensitiveness of a Governor b. Hunting of Governor
c. Stability of Governor d. Isochronism
7 The crank-pin circle radius of a horizontal engine is 300 mm. The 2 3
mass of the reciprocating parts is 250 kg. When the crank has
travelled 60° from I.D.C., the difference between the driving and the
back pressures is 0.35 N/mm2. The connecting rod length between
centres is 1.2 m and the cylinder bore is 0.5 m. If the engine runs at
250 r.p.m. and if the effect of piston rod diameter is neglected,
calculate : 1. pressure on slide bars, 2. thrust in the connecting rod, 3.
tangential force on the crank-pin, and 4. turning moment on the crank
shaft.
8 A connecting rod is suspended from a point 25 mm above the centre 2 3
of small end, and 650 mm above its centre of gravity, its mass being
37.5 kg. When permitted to oscillate, the time period is found to be
1.87 seconds. Find the dynamical equivalent system constituted of
two masses, one of which is located at the small end centre.
9 Explain the turning moment diagram with neat sketch and explain the 2 2
procedure for calculating the mass of the flywheel given the turning
moment diagram with areas above and below the mean torque line.
10 The turning moment curve for an engine is represented by the 2 3
equation, T = (20000 + 9500 sin 2θ – 5700 cos 2θ) N-m, where θ is
the angle moved by the crank from inner dead centre. If the resisting
torque is constant, find: 1. Power developed by the engine ; 2.
Moment of inertia of flywheel in kg-m2, if the total fluctuation of
speed is not exceed 1% of mean speed which is 180 r.p.m; and 3.
Angular acceleration of the flywheel when the crank has turned
through 45° from inner dead centre.
