Q1.

Maximum shear stress developed on the surface of a solid circular shaft under pure torsion is
[X]MPa. If the shaft diameter is doubled then the maximum shear (in MPa) developed corresponding to
the same torque will be

Q2. The diameter of shaft A is ‘X’ times the diameter of shaft of shaft B and both are made of same
material. Assuming both the shafts to rotate at the same speed, the maximum power transmitted by B is
----------- times of A.

(*Write the answer maximum up to 2 decimal places)

Q3. A hollow shaft subjected to a power torque, attains a maximum shear stress τ s . Given that the
τ s2
strain energy stored/volume is , where G is the modulus of rigidity. If the shaft is required to

transmit [X] KW at [Y] rpm with uniform torque, the inside diameter of shaft is ___(m)

Take τ s= [Z] MPa and G=85MPa

Q4. A solid circular bar of diameter d= 50mm is twisted in a testing machine until the applied torque
reaches the value of T=500 Nm. At this value of torque, a strain gauge oriented at 45 0 to the axis of bar
gives a reading ϵ =[ X ] ×10−6 . The shear modulus G of the material in GPa is
