1. A flange coupling connects two shafts to transmit 40 kW at 900 rpm. The flanges of the coupling are fastened by 6 bolts of the same material. The bolts are equally spaced around the circumference of the bolt circle. The arc on the bolt circle between two adjacent bolts measures approximately 52.36 mm. Find the size of the bolts if the allowable shear stress for the bolt material is 30 MPa.
