A flange-and-bolt coupling between two shafts carries 12 bolts at a pitch diameter of 18 in. The shafts carry a torque of 50,000 ft-lb. Assuming that this torque is transmitted by shear across the 12 bolts and that these bolts are to be designed for a shear stress s3 = 3,000 lb/sq in., what is the bolt diameter?
