A proposed shaft is to be supported on two bearings spaced 30 inches

apart. A straight spur gear with a pitch diameter7 of 20 inches is to be

supported midway between bearings, and a straight spur pinion having a
pitch diameter of 5 inches is to be supported 6 inches to the right of the
right-hand bearing. The involute gears are to transmit 150 horsepower at
a rotational speed of 150 rpm. The proposed shaft material is hot-rolled
1020 steel with σy = 43.000 psi, Shoulders for gears and bearings are to
be a minimum of 0.125 inch (0.25 inch on the diameter). Design the shaft
using Energy Distortion theory .
