Question One A ship's propeller shaft has external and internal diameter of 25 cm and 15 cm . What power can be transmitted at \( 110 \mathrm{r} . \mathrm{p} . \mathrm{m} \) with a maximum shearing stress of \( 75 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \), and what will be the twist in degrees of a 10 m length of the shaft? \( G=80 \mathrm{GN} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \) (10 Marks)

Problem 3-4: A propeller shaft in a ship is 350 mm in diameter. The allowable working stress in shear is 50 MPa and the allowable angle of twist is 1° in 15 diameters of length. G = 85 GPa. (a) Determine the maximum torque the shaft can transmit. (b) Now we bore (drill) a 175-mm axial hole throughout the shaft's length (so now it is a tube). By what percentage is the torsional load-carrying capacity reduced? By what percentage is the weight of the shaft reduced?

The engine of the ship develops 440 kW and transmits power through a horizontal propeller shaft which runs at 120 rpm. It is proposed to design a hollow propeller shaft with an inner diameter that is 0.6 times the outer diameter. Considering torsion alone, calculate the diameter of the propeller shaft if the stress in the angular twist over a length of 2.5 m is not to be more than 1°. The modulus of rigidity of the shaft material is 80 GPa.
