3. Design a square key for a gear shaft of diameter 30mm. 30kW power at
1000 rpm is transmitted from the shaft to the gear. The yield strength of
key material in tension is 400MPa and the factor of safety is 3. The yield
strength in compression can be assumed to be equal to the yield strength in
tension. Determine the dimensions of the key.
Given
Diameter of shaft d =30 mm
Power P=30Kw=30*1000=30000w
Speed n=1000 rpm
yield strength of key material in tension =400MPa
