1.Answer the following questions.
a)A solid shaft transmits 75kW power at 200rpm.Determine the diameter of the shaft if the twist in the shaft is not exceeded 10 in 1m length of the shaft, and shear stress is limited to 50N/mm^2.
Take rigidity modulus, G=100kN/mm^2
b)A hollow shaft with a diameter ratio of 0.7(internal outside) is required to transmit 500kW at 300 rpm with a uniform twisting moment. Allowable shear stress in the material is 70N/mm^2 and twist in a length of 2.5m is not to exceed 10.Determine the maximum external diameter of the shaft satisfying these conditions. Take modulus of rigidity G= 80KN/mm^2
