Question
(a)
A shaft that transmits 300kW at 2500revs/min consists of a tube 100mm outside
diameter and inside diameter 80mm.
(i)
Calculate the maximum shear stress in the shaft;
(ii)
If the tube were to be replaced by a solid shaft, calculate the diameter of
the shaft in order to produce the same maximum shear stress;
(ii)
Calculate the percentage increase in weight by changing from a tube to a
solid shaft.
