    52Mpa

    76Mpa

    Explanation:

    a. We need to perform a two step process to obtain the maximum shear stress on the shaft. For the solid shaft,

    P=2*pi*N*T/60 or T=60*p/2*pi*N

    Where P=power transmitted by the shaft=50*10³W

    N=rotation speed of the shaft in rpm=730rpm

    Pi=3.142

    T is the twisting moment

    By substituting the values for pi, N and P, we get

    T=654Nm or 654*10³Nmm

    Also, T=pi*rho*d³/16 or rho=16*T/pi*d³

    Where rho=maximum shear stress

    T = twisting moment=654*10³Nmm

    d = diameter of shaft = 40mm

    By substituting T, pi and d

    Rho=52Mpa

    b. For a hollow shaft, the value for rho is unknown

    T=pi*rho (do⁴-di⁴/do) / 16

    Rho=T*16*do/pi * (do⁴-di⁴)

    Where

    T = twisting moment=654*10³Nmm gotten above

    do=outside shaft diawter=40mm

    di = inside shaft diameter = 30mm

    Pi=3.142

    Substituting values for pi, do, di and T.

    Rho=76Mpa
