Question

Which of the following is not a type of transmission dynamometer?

(a) Epicyclic train dynamometer

(b) Belt transmission dynamometer

(c) Rope break dynamometer

(d) Torsion dynamometer

This question was addressed to me in semester exam.

This intriguing question comes from I.C Engine topic in division Internal Combustion Engine of Farm Machinery

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) Rope break dynamometer

The best I can explain: In rope break dynamometer, the power is expressed by

P = \(\frac{[(W-S)π(D+d)N]}{60000}  \)

Where, W is the dead load

S is the spring balanced

D is the diameter of the wheel

‘d’ is the diameter of the rope.
