Chapter 5 Problem 5-54

Question

The shaft is made of A992 steel with the allowable shear stress of \(\tau_{\text {allow }}=75\ \mathrm{MPa}\). If gear B supplies 15 kW of power, while gears A, C and D withdraw 6 kW, 4 kW and 5 kW, respectively, determine the required minimum diameter d of the shaft to the nearest millimeter. Also, find the corresponding angle of twist of gear A relative to gear D. The shaft is rotating at 600 rpm.

Solution

Step 1 of 9

Calculate the angular velocity of the shaft.

\(\omega=\frac{2 \pi N}{60}\)

Substitute 600 rpm for N

\(\begin{aligned} \omega & =\frac{2 \pi \times 600}{60} \\ & =62.832\ \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}\)
