Three shafts and four gears are used to form a gear train that will transmit 7.5 kW from the motor at A to a machine tool at F. (Bearings for the shafts are omitted in the sketch.) The frequency of the motor is 30 Hz and that the allowable stress for each shaft is 60 MPa. Use Figure P18 to answer questions 18 to 20.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit. explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.
