The horsepower which a shaft can transmit varies as the cube          of the diameter and the angular speed. If a 75-mm diameter          shaft transmits 270 hp when turning 1000 rpm, find the          horsepower which can be transmitted by a 125 mm shaft          rotating 1500 rpm.         A. 1250 hp                                        C. 1120 hp         B. 1565 hp                                        D. 1875 hp
