4. In a flat belt drive the initial tension is 2000 N. The coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0·3 and the angle of lap on the smaller pulley is 1500 The smaller pulley has a radius of 200 mm and rotates at 500 r.p.m. Find the power in kW transmitted by the belt.

5. Derive an expression for the length of a belt in an open belt drive.

6. The arms of a Porter governor are 25 cm long and pivoted on the governor axis. The mass of each ball is 5 kg and the mass on central load of the sleeve is 30 kg. The radius of rotation of balls is 15 cm when the sleeve begins to rise and reaches a value of 20 cm for maximum speed. Determine the speed range.

7. A shaft of length 0·75 supported freely at the ends, is carrying a body of mass 90 kg at 0·25 m from one end. Find the natural frequency of transverse vibration. Assume E 200 GN/m^2 and shank diameter 50 mm.
