A hollow shaft has to be designed for a marine engine delivering 1300 kW when running at 150 r/min. The maximum allowable shear stress is 65 MPa and the maximum torque to be transmitted by the shaft is 20 % greater than the mean torque. The internal diameter of the shaft is 50 % of that of the external diameter. Calculate: (a) the shaft dimensions and (b) the angle of twist of the shaft over 3 m when transmitting the above torque (G = 80 GPa).
