16. What are turning-moment diagrams? Why are they drawn?

17. What do you mean by gyroscopic couple?
22 (a) The speed variation of an Otto cycle engine during the power stroke is limited to 0.8% of
the mean speed on either side. The engine develops 40 kW of power at a speed of 130 rpm with
65 explosions per minute. The work done during the power stroke is 1.5 times the work done
during the cycle. If the hoop stress in the rim of the flywheel is not to exceed 3.5 MPa and the
width is three times the thickness, determine the mean diameter and the cross section of the rim.
Assume that the energy stored by the flywheel is 1.1 times the energy stored by the rim and the
density of the rim material is 7300 kg/m3. The turning- moment diagram during the expansion
stroke may be assumed to be triangular in shape.

which are equidistant from one another. The magnitude of the masses in planes A, C and D are
50 kg, 40 kg and 80 kg respectively. The angle between A and C is 90 and that between C and D
is 135. Determine the magnitude of the masses is planes B and E and their positions to put the
shaft in complete rotating balance.

the rear axle and the crank shaft rotates in the same sense as the road wheels. The mass of the
vehicle is 2200 kg and the centre of the mass is 550 mm above the road level. The track width of
the vehicle is 1.5 m. Determine the limiting speed of the vehicle around a curve with 80 m radius
so that the four wheels maintain contact with the road surface.
