    A motor drives a centrifugal pump that discharges 3000 L/min of water at a head of 10 m. The pump efficiency is 68% and runs at 550 rpm. The problem is to determine the torsional stress on the pump shaft, which has a diameter of 35 mm. The document shows the calculations to determine the torque on the shaft and then the torsional stress, which is found to be 14.87 MPa.
