A round steel shaft transmits 50 HP at 150 rpm and subjected to loadings as shown.
What minimum diameter is acceptable if the shaft weight is 10 lb/ft?
a. For an allowable stress for flexure and shear are 6 ksi & 8 ksi respectively;
b. For commercial shaft with keyway; gradually applied load;
c. For AISI C1095 normalized steel; suddenly applied load with minor shock and
d. For AISI C1030 as rolled steel; gradually applied load. Use ASME Code with
keyway

Draw the load, shear and moment diagrams, vertical and horizontal components.
