A turbine developing 15,000 Hp turns the shaft at 300 rpm. The propeller attached to this shaft develops a thrust of 150,000 lbs. A hollow steel shaft having an outside diameter of 14 in is to be 
used.

A. Determine the inside diameter of the shaft if the maximum shearing stress based on the torsion 
alone is not to exceed 7500 psi.

B. Determine the percentage savings in weight if a solid shaft is to be replaced with the hollow steel shaft
