Sample Problem
•• What
  is the minimum diameter of a solid steel shaft that will not twist through more
than 3˚ in 6 meter length, when subjected to a torque of 14 kN m. What maximum
shearing stress is developed? Use G of 83 Gpa.
 • Solution:
• Given:
•

• Diameter, d • = 43.396 MPa

Sample Problem
•• A  solid shaft 5 meter long is stressed to 60 MPa. When twisted through 4˚, using G = 83 GPa.
Compute the diameter of the shaft and the power transmitted in horsepower at 20 rps
• Given:  • Solution:

• d = 103.55 mm
• Required:
