Diagram shows a shaft which is connected to a motor and contains a gear in which a torque T is applied.

A motor shaft is being designed to transmit 40 kW of power at 900 rpm. If the shearing stress in the shaft must be limited to 75 MPa, determine:

a) the minimum diameter required for a solid shaft.

b) the minimum outside diameter required for a hollow shaft if the shaft inside diameter is assumed to be 80% of its outside diameter.
