•5–57. The motor delivers 40 hp to the 304 stainless steel

shaft while it rotates at 20 Hz. The shaft is supported on
smooth bearings at A and B, which allow free rotation of A C
the shaft. The gears C and D fixed to the shaft remove 25 hp
and 15 hp, respectively. Determine the diameter of the D
shaft to the nearest 18 in. if the allowable shear stress is 10 in.

tallow = 8 ksi and the allowable angle of twist of C with 8 in.
respect to D is 0.20°.
