Sheet 1 Design

1. Determine the diameter of a solid shaft transmitting 40 kW of power at 100 rpm given the material's ultimate shear stress of 360 MPa and a safety factor of 4. 2. Determine the inner and outer diameters of a hollow shaft transmitting the same power if the ratio of inner to outer diameter is 0.6. 3. Determine the diameter of an axle between the wheels of a railcar carrying a 100 kN load per axle and acting at a distance of 150 mm from the wheel base, given the gauge of the rails is 1.4 m and the allowable stress is 100 MPa.
