J. In a lifting machine, an effort of 400 N raised a load of l0 KN. If efficiency of the

rnachine is 0.5, what is the velocity ratio? lf on this machine, an effort of 740 N raised a
ioad of 20 KN, what is now the efficiency? What will be the effort required to raise a
ioad of 50 KN? (14 Marks)

6. A projectire is fired such t*,at it crli, lto*., of lo m

at a distance of 48 m from
the point ofprojection. lt strikes the horizontal ptane
through the foot ofthe tower
at a di.stance of 36 m beyond the tower. Find the least
initial velocity ol the
projectile if the point ofprojection is as the same level
as the fbot of thetower.

7. A train, running by Diesel engine having weight

500 KN starts from rest up an
inclined plane of I in 15 with a unifoim aiceleration. li
anains a maximum
velocity of 60 km/hr in a distance of 1000 m. Now the
source of power of the
engine ofthe train is forcefully stopped. If the tractive resistance
is I5 N/KN find
the maximum power developed by the engine ofltrain.

A motor car has wheels of g00 mm diameter. lt speeds up from 2g km/hr

to
km/hr such that .its angular acceleration in radis2 f, - gf"", iv
A - 0.06t where time t is given in seconds. Find the necessary
time raken by
the motor car to speed up. Also calculate the number olturns
it will make in that
time.
