Given data m 1 = 100N, m 2 = 200 N , m 3 = 150 N , r 1 = 0.3m , r 2 = 0.15 m, r 3 = 0.25m
Radius of rotation = r= 0.2m
Balancing force is equal to resultant force
So, m x r = 63
m x 0.2 = 63
m = 315 N
Measurement θ = 60 0
Compound Gear Train:
When there are more than one gear on a shaft, as shown in Fig. , it is called a compound
train of gear. In a simple train of gears do not affect the speed ratio of the system. But these gears
are useful in bridging over the space between the driver and the driven.

But whenever the distance between the driver and the driven or follower has to be bridged
over by intermediate gears and at the same time a great ( or much less ) speed ratio is required,
Let OC be the crank and PC the connecting rod of a reciprocating steam engine, as shown in Fig.
Let the crank makes an angle θ with the line of stroke PO and rotates with uniform angular
velocity ω rad/s in a clockwise direction. The Klien’s velocity and acceleration diagrams are
drawn as discussed below:
(i) Kinematic link: Each part of a machine, which moves relative to some other part, is known as a
kinematic link.
(ii) Kinematic pair: The two links or elements of a machine, when in contact with each other, are said to
form a pair. If the relative motion between them is completely or successfully constrained (i.e. in a
definite direction), the pair is known as kinematic pair.
(iii) Kinematic chain: When the kinematic pairs are coupled in such a way that the last link is joined to the
A turning moment diagram for a four stroke cycle internal combustion engine is shown. We know
that in a four stroke cycle internal combustion engine, there is one working stroke after the crank
has turned through two revolutions, i.e. 720° (or 4 ð radians). Turning moment diagram for a four
stroke cycle internal combustion engine.
Since the pressure inside the engine cylinder is less than the atmospheric pressure during
the suction stroke, therefore a negative loop is formed as shown in Fig. During the compression
Classification of follower:
i) As per shape:
•
Knife-edge follower: When the contacting end of the follower has a sharp knife edge, it is
called a knife edge follower.
• Roller follower: When the contacting end of the follower is a roller, it is called a roller follower.
• Flat faced or mushroom follower: When the contacting end of the follower is a perfectly flat
face, it is called a flat faced follower and when the flat faced follower is circular, it is then called a
mushroom follower.

Functions of clutch:
i) A clutch is a device used to transmit rotary motion of one shaft to the other shaft when desired.
ii) A clutch is a device used for engaging and disengaging the engine crank shaft instantaneously
when desired by the driver.
Difference between Mechanism & machine
Mechanism
Primary function is used to transmit or
modify the motion.
It is not used to transmit the force.
A mechanism is a single system to
transfer the motion
eg.i) In watch, energy stored on winding
the spring is used to move hands.
ii) An indicator is used to draw P-V
