I. Answer all the following questions: 3 x 2 =6M
1. Select suitable diameter of a solid shaft to transmit 90 kW power at 300 rpm. The maximum torque is
30% greater than mean torque. The allowable shear stress should not exceed 65N/mm2.
2. The allowable stress for a hollow steel column which carries an axial load of 2000kN is
12N/mm2. If the external diameter of the column is 300 mm, determine the internal diameter.
3. A cylindrical bar is 20 mm in diamtere and 1 m long. During the tensile test it was found that the
longitudinal strain is times the lateral strain. Calculate: (a) Poisson’s ratio (b) Bulk modulus (c)
Rigidity modulus if its elastic modulus is 1 x105 N/mm2.
