1.)
a.)
diameter of the shaft D = 3.5 inch
=> D = 3.5*2.54/100 = 0.0889 m
power transmitted P = 100 HP = 100*746 = 74600 W
RPM N = 200 rpm

Tortional stress fs = T/Z
where
T = torque = 60*P/(2*pi*N) = 60*74600/(2*3.1415*200)
=> T = 3562 N.m

Z = polar modulus = I/R = (pi*D^4/32)/(D/2) = pi*D^3/16
=> Z = 3.1415*0.0889^3/16 = 0.00013795 m

Hence,
fs = 3562/0.00013795 = 2.582*10^7 N/m^2 --Answer
=> fs = 2.779*10^4 N/ft^2 --Answer

b.)
angle of twist/foot = l*fs/(R*G)
Here G= modulus of rigidity = 8*10^10 N/m^2
l = length = 1 foot = 0.3048 m
Hence,
twist/length = 0.3048*2.582*10^7/((0.0889/2)*8*10^10)
= 0.0022 rad/foot = 0.1268 degree/foot --Answer

c.)
For hollow shaft, I' = pi*(Do^4 - Di^4)/32
Do = 3.5 in = 0.0889 m
Di = 1.5 in = 0.0381 m
Hence,
Z' = I'/(Do/2) = 2*I/Do = pi*(Do^4 - Di^4)/(16*Do)
=> Z' = 3.1415*(0.0889^4 - 0.0381^4)/(16*0.0889) = 0.000133296 m
Hence, new ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
