Problem:

1. A short 61 mm diameter shaft transmits 120 HP. Compute the linear speed of a
pulley 55 cm diameter mounted on the shaft.
a. 1780 fpm b. 1807 fpm c. 1870 fpm d. 1766 fpm

Solution:

2. A 1 ½ in Monel shaft is used in a torsional application. Based on operating speed

of 100 rpm and safety factor of 12, how much power can it transmit? Assume the
shearing stress is ¾ of the ultimate tensile stress which is 100 ksi
a. 6.75 HP b. 3.45 HP c. 5.23 HP d. none of these
