The pitch circle diameters of gears B and C are 900 and 600 mm respectively. The material of the shaft is steel FeE 580 (Sut = 770 and Syt = 580 N/mm2). The factors k, and k, are 1.5 and 2.0 respectively. Determine the shaft diameter. Assume that the gears are connected to the shaft by means of keys.

Q2. A specially designed wrench is used to twist a circular shaft by means of a square key that fits into slots (or keyways) in the shaft and wrench, as shown in the figure on the next page. The shaft has diameter d, the key has a square cross section of dimensions b x b, and the length of the key is c. The key fits half into the wrench and half into the shaft (i.e., the keyways have a depth equal to b/2). Derive a formula for the average shear stress Twg in the key when a load P is applied at distance L from the center of the shaft. Draw the free body diagram.
