Question 1
A shaft is used to transmit power using a gear and pulley. The gear has a diameter of 25 cm and drives a mating gear with an upward vertical tangential force (Ft=8500N). The pressure/involute angle for the gear is 19.44. A belt drive with a pulley diameter of 61 cm and weight of 1300 N , supplies power to the shaft. The tight side tension of the belt drive is T1=6000N and the belt ratio for the system is,e=3.529. The shaft is supported on bearings at B and D.
Calculate the normal/radial force and the tension on the slack side.
Draw a free body diagram and calculate the vertical reaction forces at B and D.

Question 2
A solid shaft in a machine causes premature bearing failure due to the weight of the shaft. It is decided that the solid shaft should be replaced with a hollow shaft. The hollow shaft has the same outside diameter as the solid shaft (d) and a maximum allowable shear stress 20% greater that the solid shaft. The hollow shaft and solid shaft have the same material density (F=1000kgm3) and length.
Calculate the inside diameter (di) of the hollow shaft.
Determine the percentage weight saving when using the hollow shaft.

Question 3
A solid steel shaft with diameter )=(30mm has a modulus of rigidity of G=0.8105Nmm2. If the shaft is subject to a torque (Torque=0.5106N*mm), determine:
Angular twist over one meter (1 m ) length of the shaft.
The maximum shear stress in the shaft.
The shear stress at a point 10 mm from the axis of rotation of the shaft.
