•5-57. The motor delivers 40 hp to the 304 stainless steel shaft while it rotates at 20 Hz. The shaft is supported on smooth bearings at A and B, which allow free rotation of the shaft. The gears C and D fixed to the shaft remove 25 hp and 15 hp, respectively. Determine the diameter of the shaft to the nearest 1/8 in. if the allowable shear stress is Tallow= 8 ksi and the allowable angle of twist of C with respect to D is 0.2 degree.
