1. A shaft is designed to transmit power from a gear mounted at its right-end (location B) to another gear. The torque transmitted from the shaft to the gear at B through a key is given as \(\mathrm{T}=2819\mathrm{lb}\).in. The nominal shaft diameter at B is 1.00 in, and a 0.25 in square key is recommended for a 1.00 in shaft diameter. Using a design factor of 1.1, design an appropriate key for the gear. (Use 1020 CD steel for the key material).
