Given:
D = 40mm
P = 750 kW
N = 150 rpm

Required:
Ss = ?

Solution:

Problem 44

A hollow shaft has an inner diameter of 0.035035m and outer diameter of 0.06m.
Compute for the torque in N-m, if the stress is not to exceed 120MPa.
Given:
Inner diameter = 0035035m = 35.035mm
Outer diameter = 0.06m = 60mm
Stress = 120MPa = 120N(mm)
Torque = ?
