A leather faced conical clutch has a cone angle of 30°. If the intensity of pressure between the contact surfaces is limited to 0.35 N/mm2 and the breadth of the conical surface is not to exceed one-third of the mean radius, find the dimensions of the contact surface to transmit 22.5 KW at 2000RPM. Assuming uniform rate of wear and take coefficient of friction as 0.15.

The arms of Hartnell governor are of equal length. When the sleeve is in the mid position, the masses rotate in a circle with diameter of 150mm (the arms are vertical in the mid position). Neglecting friction, the equilibrium speed for this position is 360 RPM. Maximum variation of speed taking friction into account, is to be 6% of the mid position speed for a maximum sleeve movement of 30mm. The sleeve mass is 5 kg and the friction of sleeve is 35N.
Assuming that the power of the governor is sufficient to overcome the friction by 1% change of speed on each side of mean position. Find (neglecting obliquity effects of the arms), the (i) mass of each rotating of ball. (ii) spring stiffness. (iii) initial compression of the spring.

Each wheel of four wheeled rear engine automobile has a moment of inertia 2.4 Kg m2 and an effective diameter of 660mm. The rotating parts of the engine have a moment of inertia of 1.2 Kg m2. The gear ratio of engine to the back wheel is 3 to 1. The engine axis is parallel to the rear axle and the crankshaft rotates in the same sense as the road wheels. The mass of vehicle is 2200Kg and the centre of the mass is 550 mm above the road level. The track width of the vehicle is 1.5m. Determine the limiting speed of the vehicle around a curve with 80m radius so that all the four wheels maintain contact with the road surface.
