3.7-5 The propeller shaft of a large ship has an outside diameter 18 in. and inside diameter 12 in., as shown in the figure. The shaft is rated for a maximum shear stress of 4500 psi. (a) If the shaft is turning at 100 rpm, what is the maximum horsepower that can be transmitted without exceeding the allowable stress? (b) If the rotational speed of the shaft is doubled but the power requirements remain unchanged, what happens to the shear stress in the shaft? 18 in. 100 rpm 12 in. 18 in.
