Answer:
The torque transmitting capacity of cone clutch increases as its semi vertical angle increase. Explanation: Torque transmitted is inversely proportional to the sin of the semi vertical angle. 4. When semi vertical angle is greater than angle of static friction, clutch results in self-engagement.

Answer:
To avoid self-engagement in the cone clutch, its semi-cone angle is always kept greater than the angle of static friction.
Explanation:
- A cone clutch consists of inner and outer conical surfaces.
- The outer cone is keyed to the driving shaft, while the inner cone is free to slide axially on the driven shaft due to splines as shown in the figure.
- They are simple in construction and are easy to disengage. However, the driving and driven shafts must be perfectly coaxial for efficient functioning of the clutch.
- Cone clutches are friction clutches.
- To avoid self-engagement in the cone clutch, its semi-cone angle is always kept greater than the angle of static friction.
