3.7-4 A solid steel shaft ABC with diameter d=40 mm is driven at A by a motor that transmits 75kW to the shaft at 15 Hz. The gears at B and C drive machinery requiring power equal to 50kW and 25 kW, respectively. Compare the maximum shear stress and angle of twist in the shaft between the motor at A and the gear at C. Assume that G=75 GPa.
