Answer any one question from Q3 and Q4

3 (a) Why coupling are located as near as possible to the bearings?(2 marks) 3 (b) A circular bar of 500 mm length is supported freely at its two ends. It is acted upon by a central concentrated cyclic load having a minimum value of 50 KN. Determine the diameter of the bar by taking a factor of safety of 1.5 size effect of 0.85, surface finish factor of 0.9. The material properties of bar are given by Ultimate strength of 650 MN/m2, yield strength of 500 MN/m2 and endurance strength of 350 MN/m2.(8 marks) 4 (a) Suggest suitable coupling in the following cases:
i) Shaft having parallel axes with small distance apart.
ii) Shaft having intersecting axis.
