6 (a) What is interference? Derive the relation for the minimum number of teeth for a pair of involute profile to avoid interference. 6 marks

6 (b) The two spur gear of 19 and 47 teeth respectively are in mesh. The module is 6.5mm and pressure angle is 20°. Determine the number of pairs in contact and the angle turned by the larger wheel when one pair of teeth in contact. 6 marks

7 (a) Explain reverted type gear train with sketch. 6 marks

7 (b) An epicyclic gear train is shown in fig Q7(b). Annular gear A is keted to the driving shaft and has 30 teeth. Compound wheel C and D of 20 and 22 teeth respectively are free to rotate on the pin fixed to the arm P which is rigidly connected to the driven shaft. Internal gear B which has 32 teeth is fixed. If the driving shaft runs at 100RPM CW. Find the speed of the driven shaft. What is the direction of rotation of the driven shaft with reference to the driving shaft?

8 Draw the cam profile for the following data for a roller follower:
Offset= 10mm towards right of cam center.
Roller radius= 10mm
Minimum radius of the cam =20mm
Maximum displacement of the follower=24mm
Outstroke angle=90° of am rotation with UARM, acceleration being half of the retardation
Dwell at the elevated position=30° of cam rotation
Return stroke=90° of cam rotation with modified uniform velocity
After the return stoke cam dwells for the remaining period. Determine the maximum velocity and acceleration during outstroke only. Speed of cam is 600rpm in CW. 6 marks
