1. A punch press is designed to exert a force sufficient to shear a 15/16-in.

hole in a
½-in. steel plate, AISI C1020, as rolled. This force is exerted on the shaft at a
radius of ¾-in. (a) Compute the torsional stress in the 3.5-in. shaft (bending
neglected). (b) What will be the corresponding design factor if the shaft is made
of cold-rolled AISI 1035 steel? Do you think the design is safe enough if the
minimum design factor is 9?
2. A centrifugal pump is to be driven by a 15-hp electric motor at 1750 rpm. What
should be the diameter of the pump shaft if it is made of AISI C1045 as rolled? Let
