ACTIVITY 4.

1. The schematic diagram of a Francis water turbine is shown in Fig. 1 in which water flows
from A into the blades B and down into the tail race C. The rotor has a mass of 250 kg and
an unbalance (me) of 5 kg∙mm. The radial clearance between the rotor and the stator is
5 mm. The turbine operates in the speed range 600 to 6000 rpm. The steel shaft carrying
the rotor can be assumed to be clamped at the bearings. Determine the diameter of the
shaft so that the rotor is always clear of the stator at all the operating speeds of the
turbine. Assume damping to be negligible.(15 pts.)

2. A spring-mass system, having a mass of 10 kg and a spring of stiffness of 4000 N/m,


vibrates on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is 0.12. When subjected to a
harmonic force of frequency 2 Hz, the mass is found to vibrate with an amplitude of 40
mm. Find the amplitude of the harmonic force applied to the mass. .(15 pts.)
