*5-52. The engine of the helicopter is delivering 600 hp to the rotor shaft AB when the blade is rotating at 1200 rev/min. Determine to the nearest 1/8 in. the diameter of the shaft AB if the allowable shear stress is Tallow =10.5 ksi and the vibrations limit the angle of twist of the shaft to 0.05 rad. The shaft is 2 ft long and made from L2 steel.
