Steel wire rope of 25mm diameter weighing 37N/m has 6 strands of 7 wires each. The diameter and tensile strength of each wire are 2.5mm and 1800 MPa, respectively. The factor of safety for raising a cage of weight 60 kN from a depth of 200m is
The following characteristic curves (P, Q, R, S) pertain to rotary drilling in rock.
Title of the curve
I : Torque versus RPM
II: Rate of penetration versus uniaxial compressive strength of rock
III : Rate of penetration versus weight on bit
IV : Specific energy versus weight on bit
Match the curves with their titles
Figure shows a two pulley system for hoisting a load of 10 kN. The coefficient of friction between each pulley and the rope is 0.2. The vertical and horizontal distances between the centers of the pulleys are 25m and 16m respectively. The tensions T1 and T2 respectively in kN are
A conveyor is 600m long carrying coal having bulk density 0.8 t/m3 up a gradient of 1 in 60 at the rate of 220 t/hr. If the belt width (w) is 0.75m and cross-sectional area of the material is 0.1w2, determine belt speed?
