A solid shaft of diameter 100 mm is rotating at a constant angular speed of (10/ π) rad/s. The shaft carries three rigid pulleys A, B and C as shown in the Figure. Pulley B is connected to a motor supplying 10kW power. Pulley B and C are connected to two pumps consuming 5kW each. Find the maximum shear stress (in MPa) in the shaft due to torsion alone. __________ EI L k P 40 kN 20 kN A B C D 2.5 m 2 m 3 m
