Shaft design: A solid circular shaft that is 3m long transmits 30kW

Shaft design: A solid circular shaft that is 3m long transmits 30kW of power at a rate of 1800 revolutions per minute. Tersional shear stress of the shaft material is not to exceed 40mPa and the angle of twist is not to exceed 0.6 degrees. Taking the shear modulus of electricity to be 83x10^3MPa, determine the diameter of the shaft: A. Based on strength B. Based on rigidity
