A sleeve coupling connects two solid shafts in a motor and pump assembly. The following information is provided:
Power transmitted by the motor:
P =50kW
RPM (N)=1440 RPM
Permissible shear stress for the shaft material: Tshaft =45 MPa
Permissible shear stress for the sleeve material: Tsleeve =30 MPa
Find the diameter of the solid shaft (d), the outer diameter (D), the length of the sleeve (L), and the dimensions of the key (width w and height h).
