4. A 1 ½ in Monel shaft is used in a torsional application. Based on operating speed
of 100 rpm and safety factor of 12, how much power can it transmit? Assume the
shearing stress is ¾ of the ultimate tensile stress which is 100 ksi.

5. A solid round shaft, made of AISI C1095 normalized steel, is to be subjected to

torque that varies continuously from -1200 to 4200 lb in. Considering a machined
surface of the shaft and a factor of safety of 1.75 based on Goodman criterion,
what shaft diameter would you recommend?
