9. In which section of the front axle, torsional and bending moments are
predominant?
At centre portion of front axle, bending moment is predominant at ends of
the front axle due to braking of the wheels.

4. Following data are related to a cone clutch: rQ;;
Maximum contact surface radius : 140 mm, maximum contact surface
radius : 125 mm, semi cone angle :20 deg, coefficient of friction :0.25,
allowable normal pressure : 137.34 kpa. E,stimate the axial load and
power transmitted at 1000 rpnr
5., A torque of 350 Nm is transmitted through a col1e clutch having a rlean
diarneter of 300 mm and a semi cone angle of 15 deg. The maximum
normal pressure at the mean radius is 150 KN/m2. The coefficient of
friction is 0.3. Calculate the width of the contact surface. Also find the
axial force to engage the clutch.

4. A multi disc clutch is to transmit l0 kW at 800 rpm. Thc ratio of inner radius
is andthe outerradius is 1.75. The coefficient of expected friction inside oil
is 0.1. Find the inner and outer radius and axial force assuming uniform
intensity of pressure of 0.15 N/mm2

1. Sketch the arrangement of a six speed gear box. The minirnum and
maximum speeds required are around 460 and 1400 rpm. The drive speed
is 1440rpm. Construct speed diagram of the gear box and obtain various
reduction ratios. Use standard output speed and standard step ratio.
Calculate number of teeth on each gear.
