Solve any one question from Q.7 &Q.8
7 A machine has two slides ?A? and ?B? which are to be operated hydraulically. The cylinder ?A? has a load of 10 KN and a stroke of 50cm to be completed in 20 sec. The cylinder ?B? has to overcome a load of 15 KN and has a stroke of 50 cm to be complete in 29 sec. The two cylinders are to be moved simultaneously. They are to be retracted as soon as they reach the end position. The loads during returns, strokes are 5 KN and 3.5 KN respectively. Individual direction control valves are provided for the two cylinders. Draw a suitable circuit to achieve this requirement. Select different components you have used in the circuit from the given data mention the rating of the components in case it is not available in the given data. Assume reasonable values of data in case if it is not provided in the problems (Discuss functional approach, strength approach and selection approach along with suitable circuit diagram)

8 Two identical cylinders A and B are to be operated simultaneously. The cylinder A moves against a load of 25 KN while the cylinder B has a load of 20 KN. Both the cylinders have a stroke of 1 m. The working stroke is to be completed in about 20 seconds time. The return stroke of cylinder B is to start only after the cylinder A is completely retracted. The return speeds are to be as fast as possible. Draw a circuit which will fulfill these requirements. Select different components you have used in the circuit from the given data mention the rating of the components in case it is not available In the given data. Assume reasonable values of data in case if it is not provided in the problems (Discuss functional approach, strength approach and selection approach along with suitable circuit diagram)
