1. A drive shaft to the blades of a helicopter transmits 800 kW at 200 rev/min. Neglecting
transmission losses; determine the minimum external and internal diameters of the hollow
circular section aluminum alloy shaft, when the maximum permissible shear stress in the shaft is
limited to 30 MPa. It may be assumed that the external diameter of this shaft is twice its internal
diameter. What will be the resulting angle of twist of this shaft over a length of 2 m, given that
the modulus of rigidity, C 26900MPA.
