Problem (check ) :

A hollow steel shaft has an external diameter of 500 mm and an internal diameter of
250 mm-
The shft transmits 25 x 10^3 kW a t 160 rpm .

a) What angle of twist is expected for a length of 2.5 m for a mdolus of rigidity of the
material of 75 KN / mm^2 ?

b ) What diameter of solid shaft will transmit the same power at the same maximum stress ?
and

c) What will the ratio of the angle of twist be to that of the hollow shaft if the maximum shear stress in the material of 75 N / mm ^2 and what is the ratio of actual permissible
shear stress ?
