SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. we know that, the torsion equation
T/J=τ/r=Gθ/L
θ=TL/GJ
θ α L
Twist is varying with the length linearly so it is not uniform throughout the length.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. for compensate the torque addition of bending moment is required
T_e=√(T^2+m^2 )
13=√((12)^2+m^2 )
169=12^2+m^2
169-144=m^2
m=5.kNm
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. The spindle of a machine tool is subjected to torsional load. the spindle undergoes rotation, loading to torsional stress.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. we know that, the power is
P = T.W = 2πNT/60,000 Kw——(1)
And torsional shear stress τ=16T/(πD^3 )
T=(πD^3)/16 τ—–(2)
From (1) and (2)
P=2πN/60,000×((πD^3)/16.τ)
Everything is constant except N & d for given power (P) and shear stress (τ)
∵ND^3=constant
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. we know that, power is
P=2πNT if N=rps
P=2×22/7×700×T
44000=2×22×100×T
T=10 N.M
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol.
T_S/T_H =(τ_max×π/16 d^3 )_S/(τ_max×π/16 d^3 (1-k^4 ))_H {∵K=d_i/d_O }
=1/(1±k^4 )
Given that K=4
=1/(1-1/16)=16/15
T_S/T_H =(16/15)
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. the safe twisting moment for a compound shaft is equal t the minimum calculated value let there are two torques T_1 & T_2 (T_1> T_2 ) here, we are assuming T_2 is lesser than T_1. So, if the material will fail at T_2 then, there is no mean of T_1 because material will not able to reach at T_1 because failure occurs at T_2. So, the safe limit is T_2 i.e. minimum calculated value.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given that shafts are diameter D and D/2
Let bigger shaft strength T_b
τ_b=(16T_b)/πDׇ ——-(1)
Smaller shaft strength ‘τ_s^’
τ_s=(16T_S)/(π(D/2)^3 )=8×(16T_S)/(πD^3 )—–(2)
τ_b/τ_s =(16T_b \/πD^3)/(8×16T_S \/πD^3 )
Material is same b (∵τ_b=τ_s )
8.(16T_S)/(πD^3 )=(16T_b)/(πD^3 )
▭(T_b=8.T_S )
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. Torque transmitted torque shaft
T=π/16 D^3 τ
T α D^3
Power,P= Tω
P α T α D^3
P_A/P_B =(D_a^3)/(D_B^3 )=[1/2]^3=1/8
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. power = Tω
P=T(2πN/60)=2πNT/60 Watt
in horse power=2πNT/(750×60)
