The stepped shaft shown in the figure is required to transmit 600 kW of power at 400 rpm. The shaft has a full quarter-circular fillet, and the smaller diameter D1= 100 mm. If the allowable shear stress at the stress concentration is 100 MPa, at what diameter will this stress be reached? Is this diameter an upper or a lower limit on the value of D2?

A heavy flywheel rotating at n revolutions per minute is rigidly attached to the end of a shaft of diameter d (see figure).
