Question: 4 . A coupling ( see figure 4 ) is used to join two solid steel shafts. The coupling is integrally forged with the shaft.

4. A coupling (see figure 4) is used to join two solid steel shafts. The coupling is integrally forged with the shaft. The diameter of the shaft is \( d_{0}=80\mathrm{~mm}\) and \(\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{BC}}=\)120 mm , the flange has a thickness of \( t_{F L}=10\mathrm{~mm}\). There are 6 bolts used to connect the two flanges. If the ultimate shear stress for the bolts, shaft and flanges is 200 MPa and the Factor of Safety is 2.15, determine:
a.) The bold diameter (in mm ) required to develop the full shear capacity of the shaft. (10 marks)
b.) The bearing stresses on each bolt. (5 marks)
c.) If the shaft rotates at 100 rpm , determine the horsepower the shaft can transmit. (10 marks)
4 . A coupling ( see figure 4 ) is used to join
