pitch (p) and included angle of the thread are 4 mm
and 60^{\circ} , respectively. The diameter of the best size
wire is ___________ mm (round off to 2 decimal
places).

2.31 | |
4.25 | |
3.36 |
Question 1 Explanation:
Pitch (p) = 4 mm
Thread angle 2\alpha =60^{\circ}
Semi Thread Angle \alpha =30^{\circ}
Diameter of best size wire
\begin{aligned} d_w&=\frac{p}{2}\sec \alpha \\ d_w&=\frac{4}{2} \sec 30^{\circ}\\ d_w&=2.039 mm=2.31mm \end{aligned}
Thread angle 2\alpha =60^{\circ}
Semi Thread Angle \alpha =30^{\circ}
Diameter of best size wire
\begin{aligned} d_w&=\frac{p}{2}\sec \alpha \\ d_w&=\frac{4}{2} \sec 30^{\circ}\\ d_w&=2.039 mm=2.31mm \end{aligned}

Question 2 Explanation:

(1) Allowance = Lower limit of hole - upper limit of shaft
Allowance = 25.00 - 24.96 = 0.04 mm
(2) Maximum clearance C_{max} = Upper limit of hole - lower limit of shaft
C_{max} = 25.02 - 24.93 = 0.09 mm
(3) Maximum material limit for hole = minimum size of hole = 25.00
Question 3 |
The type of fit between a mating shaft of diameter 25.0^{\begin{matrix}
+0.010\\
-0.010
\end{matrix}}mm and a hole of diameter 25.015^{\begin{matrix}
+0.015\\
-0.015
\end{matrix}}mm is __________.
Clearance | |
Transition | |
Interference | |
Linear |
Question 3 Explanation:

If,
D_{hole} = 25.00 mm,
D_{shaft} = 25.01 mm ( Interference fit.)
D_{hole} = 25.03 mm,
D_{shaft} = 24.99 mm
(Clearance fit)
Some of the assemblies provide clearance fit and some provides interference fit.
Hence, It is transition fit
Question 4 |
A 76.2 mm gauge block is used under one end of a 254 mm sine bar with roll diameter of 25.4 mm. The height of gauge blocks required at the other end of the sine bar to measure an angle of 30^{\circ} is __________mm (round off to two decimal places).
203.2 | |
145.6 | |
214.3 | |
542.6 |
Question 4 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} \sin 30^{\circ} &=\frac{h_{1}}{254} \\ \text{or}\qquad h_{1} &=254 \sin 30^{\circ}=127 \mathrm{~mm} \\ H_{2} &=76.2+127=203.2 \mathrm{~mm} \end{aligned}\\ Case II:

\begin{aligned} \sin 30^{\circ} &=\frac{76.2-h_{1}}{254} \\ \text{or}\qquad h_{1} &=76.2-254 \sin 30^{\circ}\\ &=-50.8 \mathrm{~mm} \end{aligned}
Which is not feasible
Therefore final answer 203.2 mm.
Question 5 |
The allowance provided in between a hole and a shaft is calculated from the difference between
lower limit of the shaft and the upper limit of the hole | |
upper limit of the shaft and the upper limit of the hole | |
upper limit of the shaft and the lower limit of the hole | |
lower limit of the shaft and the lower limit of the hole |
Question 5 Explanation:
It is minimum clearance or maximum interference. It is the intentional difference between the basic dimensions of the mating parts. The allowance may be positive or negative.
