8.5 (A). A flanged coupling having six bolts placed at a pitch circle diameter of 180 mm connects two lengths of solid steel shafting of the same diameter. The shaft is required to transmit 80 kW at 240 rev/min. Assuming the allowable intensities of shearing stresses in the shaft and bolts are 75 MN/m² and 55 MN/m² respectively, and the maximum torque is 14 times the mean torque, calculate: (a) the diameter of the shaft; (b) the diameter of the bolts.

Question
8.5 (A) A flanged coupling having six bolts placed at a pitch circle diameter of 180 mm connects two lengths of
solid steel shafting of the same diameter. The shaft is required to transmit 80 kW at 240 rev/min. Assuming the
allowable intensities of shearing stresses in the shaft and bolts are 75 MN/m² and 55 MN/m² respectively, and the
maximum torque is 1.4 times the mean torque, calculate:
(a) the diameter of the shaft;
(b) the diameter of the bolts.
