Question: The solid shaft ( A E ) rotates at 6 0 0 rpm and transmits 6 0 hp from the motor (

The solid shaft \( A E \) rotates at 600 rpm and transmits 60 hp from the motor \( M \) to machine tools connected to gears \( G \) and \( H \). Knowing that \( T_{\text {all }}=7.6\mathrm{ksi}\) and that 40 hp is taken off at gear \( G \) and 20 hp is taken off at gear H , determine the smallest permissible diameter of shaft \( A E \).(Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
The smallest permissible diameter of shaft \( A E \) is
in.
The solid shaft \ ( A E \ ) rotates at 6 0 0 rpm
