Chapter 5 Problem 5-37

Question

The 6-hp reducer motor can turn at 1200 rev/min. If the allowable shear stress for the shaft is \(\tau_{\text {allow }}=6\ \mathrm{ksi}\), determine the smallest diameter of the shaft to the nearest \(\frac{1}{16}\) in. that can be used.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 37 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The 6-hp reducer motor can turn at 1200 rev/min. If the allowable shear stress for the shaft is \(\tau_{\text {allow }}=6\ \mathrm{ksi}\), determine the smallest diameter of the shaft to the nearest \(\frac{1}{16}\) in. that can be used.
From the textbook chapter Torsion you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
