point of rotation, and a damper of effective damping constant ./00 is located a distance of �# )# from the point of rotation,
and a spring of effective spring constant -/00 which is located a distance of *# )# from the point of rotation. The effective
spring constant -/00 is made up of two springs of equal spring constants -# which are connected in parallel, and the
effective damping constant ./00 is made up of two dampers of equal damping constants .# which are connected in
series. If the systems equation of motion using the rotational form of Newton’s second law of form

QUESTION 3 [10 Marks] The needle indicator of an electronic instrument is connected to a torsional viscous damper and a torsional spring. If the rotary inertia of the needle indicator about its pivot point is 25 kg.m2 and the spring constant of the torsional spring is 100 N.m/rad, determine the damping constant of the torsional damper if the instrument is to be critically damped. QUESTION 4 [15 MARKS] In a Hartnell governor as illustrated in Figure 4, the length of the ball arm is 190 mm, that of the sleeve arm is 140 mm, and the mass of each ball is 2.7 kg. The distance of the pivot of each bell-crank lever from the axis of rotation is 170 mm, and the speed, when the ball arm is vertical, is 300 rev/min. The speed is to increase 0.6% for a lift of 12 mm of the sleeve.

Determine the following:
a) Neglecting the dead load on the sleeve, find the necessary stiffness of the spring and the required initial compression
b) What spring stiffness and initial compression would be required if the speed is to remain the same for the changed position of the sleeve (i.e. the governor is to be isochronous)?
QUESTION 5 [30 Marks] The turning moment diagram for an engine is given by

Figure 5.
The resisting torque is constant and the speed is 850 rev/min. The total moment of inertia of the rotating parts of the engine and the driven member is 270 kg.m2. Using any suitable combination of analytical, numerical or graphical techniques determine:
a) The power b) The fluctuation in speed c) The maximum instantaneous angular acceleration of the engine d) The value of the crank angle corresponding to the state where the maximum instantaneous angular
acceleration occurs
