Question: Q 3 . [ 0 . 6 % ] An electric motor at A exerts a total torque of 8 0 0 Nm on

Q3.[0.6\%]
An electric motor at A exerts a total torque of 800 Nm on the steel shaft \( A B C D \). If 300 Nm is used to rotate gear \( B \) and 500 Nm is used to rotate gear C , and the shaft at support \( D \) is free to rotate, calculate (a) the torque at shaft \( C D \),(b) the torque at shaft \( B C \), and (c) the torque at shaft \( A B \). Design specifications require that the diameter of the shaft be uniform from \( A \) to \( D \) and that the angle of twist between \( A \) to \( D \) not to exceed 1.5 degrees.
Knowing that allowable shearing stress is 60 MPa and G \(=77\mathrm{GPa}\), determine (d) the minimum diameter solid shaft that can be used.
(Hint: First design the shaft based on the allowable shear stress, then design the shaft based on the max angle of twist. Finally, use the larger diameter as the answer.)
