An automobile weighing 3000 lb is slowed down uniformly from 40 to 10 mph is a distance of 100 ft by a brake on the drive shaft. Rear wheels are 28 – inches in diameter. Differential ratio is 40:11. Neglecting tire, bearing, and gear losses, determine the minimum size of the drive shaft if the shear stress on the drive shaft is not to exceed 25 ksi.
