The mechanism shown is composed of a 30 inch long shaft and a plate. The plate is
welded into the side of the shaft. The mechanism rotates and pushes down on a plunger.
The plunger exerts a constant vertical force of 4000 pounds on the plate.

Max. Allow. Shear
Shaft Material
2X106 PSI 5000 PSI
Plate Material: The plate material can withstand up to a 10,000 pound load without any
significant bending or failure.
The motor rotates its end of the shaft at 0.27500 radians per second. The plate must
depress the plunger at least 3.464 inches in two seconds (what does this say about the
maximum angle the shaft can twist?). After the plunger is depressed, the plate returns to
the horizontal position.

3.464m
Your job is to:
1. Find the minimum diameter of a solid shaft that will work.
2. Determine the hole size that could be used on a hollow shaft of outer diameter = 4.0".
3. Compare the amount of material used for cases one and two, and determine which
case uses material more efficiently.
Solid
MOST
Hollow
EFFICIENT
Assume that shafts and holes come in 1/8" increments, round your answers to 1/8"
