Question

A steel shaft is transmitting 55 hp at 1200

rpm. The nature of the load and the type

of service of the shaft is such that the

allowance shearing stress based on the

pure tension is 4000 psi. (MAXIMUM

TORSIONAL STRESS AND ANGLE OF TWIST

FOR A SOLID SHAFT)

  1. Calculate the diameter of the shaft to

the nearest commercial size of the

shafting.

2.Calculate the torsional deflection of the

shaft in degree for one foot length of

the shaft.
