1 Derive the torsional equation for a circular shaft with usual notations. State the CO2 10

assumptions made. 𝐉 = 𝐑 = 𝐋
2 Prove that a hollow shaft is stronger and stiffer than the solid shaft of the same CO2 10
material, length and weight.
3 Find the diameter of the shaft required to transmit 60kW at 150 rpm if the maximum CO2 10
torque is 25% more than the mean torque for a maximum shear stress of 60MPa. Find
also the angle of twist in a length of 4m. Take G= 80 GPa.
4 A hollow circular steel shaft has to transmit 60KW At 210 rpm such that the maximum CO2 10
shear stress does not to exceed 60MN/m2. If the ratio of internal to external dimeter is
equal to ¾ and the value of rigidity modulus is 84GP find the dimensions of the shaft
and angle of twist in length of 3m.
5 A hollow shaft is to transmit 300 kW power at 80 rpm. If the shear stress is not to CO2 10
exceed 60 N/mm2 and internal diameter is 0.6 times the external diameter. Find the
external and internal diameters, assuming that the maximum torque is 1.4 times the
mean.
6 A solid shaft is to transmit 192 kW at 450 rpm. Taking allowable stress for the shaft CO2 10
material as 70 MPa, find the diameter of the solid shaft. What percentage of saving in
weight would be obtained, if this shaft was to be replaced by hollow shaft, whose
internal diameter is 0.8 times its external diameter? The length of the shaft, power to
be transmitted and the speed are equal in both cases.
7 A hollow shaft having internal diameter 40% of its external diameter, transmits CO2 10
562.5KW power at 100rpm. Determine the internal and external diameter of the shaft
if the shear stress is not to exceed 60N/mm2 and the twist in a length of 2.5m should
not exceed 1.3°. The maximum torque being 25% greater than mean. Modulus of
rigidity 9X104N/mm2
8 A hollow circular shaft with a 250mm external diameter and thickness of metal 25mm CO2 10

0.72 0 . Calculate the power transmitted and the maximum shear stress induced.
Modulus of rigidity = 84 GPa.
9 A thin cylindrical shell 1.2m in diameter and 3m long has a metal wall thickness of 12mm,
it is subjected to an internal fluid pressure of 3.2 MPa. Find the circumferential and
CO2 10
longitudinal stress in the wall. Determine change in length, diameter and volume of the
cylinder. Assume E = 210GPa and Poisson’s ratio = 0.3.
10 A thin cylinder, 2 m long and 200 mm in diameter with 10mm thickness is filled
CO2 10
completely with a fluid, at an atmospheric pressure. If an additional 25000mm3 fluid is
 pumped in, find the longitudinal and Hoop stress developed. Also find the change in the
diameter and length, if E = 2×105 N/mm2 and Poisson’s ratio = 0.3.
11 A thick cylinder of 500mm inner diameter is subjected to an internal pressure of
9MPa. Taking the allowable stress for the material of the cylinder as 40Mpa,

distribution across the section.
12 A thick cylinder of 400 mm internal diameter and 100 mm thickness contains a fluid at
a pressure 80 N/mm2. Find hoop stresses across the section. Also sketch the radial and CO2 10

13 A thick cylinder of outside diameter 300mm and internal diameter 200mm is subject to
an internal fluid pressure of 14MPa. Determine the maximum hoop stress developed.

Also sketch the variation of hoop stress and radial pressure across the thickness of the
cylinder.
14 A pipe of internal diameter 300mm and wall thickness of 100mm contains fluid under
a pressure of 6MPa, Calculate and sketch the radial and hoop stresses induced across CO2 10
