A horizontal shaft of 75 mm diameter projects from a bearing, and in addition to the torque transmitted the shaft carries a vertical load of 8 kN at 300 mm from the bearing. If the safe stress for the material, as determined in a simple tension test, is 135 MN/m2, find the safe torque to which the shaft may be subjected using as the criterion (a) the maximum shearing stress, (b) the maximum strain energy per unit volume. Poisson’s ratio v = 0.29. [Ans: 5.05, 8.3 kN.m]
