Question: a ) Design a typical cotter joint ( with drawing ) shown below to transmit a load of 5 0 kN in tension or compression.

a) Design a typical cotter joint (with drawing) shown below to transmit a load of 50 kN in tension or compression. Consider that the rod, socket and cotter are all made of a material with the following
allowable stresses:
Allowable tensile stress (oy)=150 MPa
Allowable crushing stress (oc)=110 MPa
Allowable shear stress (ty)=110 MPa.
b) Also, suggest a unique way to overcome the challenges of using cotter joints in agricultural machinery in cost-effective manner on rough terrain jerks and vibration by engaging and disengaging the cotter using the clutch system.
c) A multiple-disc wet clutch is to be designed for transmitting a torque of 85 N.m. Space restriction limit the outside disk diameter to 100 mm. Design values for the molded friction material and steel disks to be used are f=0.06(wet) and pmax =1400 kPa. Determine appropriate values for the disc inside diameter, the total number of discs, and the clamping force.
