Chapter 5 Problem 5-33

Question

The motor M is connected to the speed reducer C by the tubular shaft and coupling. If the motor supplies 20 hp and rotates the shaft at a rate of 600 rpm, determine the minimum inner and outer diameters \(d_i\) and \(d_o\) of the shaft if \(d_i /d_o = 0.75\). The shaft is made from a material having an allowable shear stress of \(\tau_\text{allow} = 12 \text{ ksi}\).

                   

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 33 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The motor M is connected to the speed reducer C by the tubular shaft and coupling. If the motor supplies 20 hp and rotates the shaft at a rate of 600 rpm, determine the minimum inner and outer diameters \(d_i\) and \(d_o\) of the shaft if \(d_i /d_o = 0.75\). The shaft is made from a material having an allowable shear stress of \(\tau_\text{allow} = 12 \text{ ksi}\).                   
From the textbook chapter Torsion you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
