3 (b) A hollow shaft with diameter ratio of 3/8 is required to transmit 500 K W at 100 RPM, the maximum torque being 20% greater than mean. The maximum shear stress is not exceed 60 N/mm2 and the twist in the length of 3 is not exceed 1.4. calculate the minimum diameter required for the shaft C=84 N/mm2(10 marks) 4 (a) A wooden beam 250 mm × 150 mm has a steel strap 10 mm × 150 mm fixed at the top and the bottom. The beam is subjected to bending moment of 5KN-m around the horizontal axis. Determine the stress in the steel and wood. Es=200 Gpa, Ew=20 Gpa(10 marks) 4 (b) A steel bolt of 20 mm diaeter passes centrally through a copper tube of internal diameter 25 mm and thickness 10 mm. the tube is 600 mm long and is closed by rigid washer of negligible thickeness and fastened by nuts is tightened by the one quarter of the turn relative to other. the pitch of the thread is 2 mm. Take Es=200 GPa and Ec=100 GPa
