A transmission shaft is supported between two bearings, which are 750 mm a part. Power is supplied to the shaft through a coupling, which is located to the left of the left-hand bearing. Power is transmitted from the shaft by means of a belt pulley, 450 mm in diameter, which is located at a distance of 200 mm to the right of the left-hand bearing. The weight of the pulley is 300 N and the ratio of the belt tension of tight and slack sides is 2:1. The belt tensions act in vertically downward direction. The shaft is made of steel FeE 300 (Syt = 300 N/mm2) and the factor of safety is 3. Determine the shaft diameter, if it transmits 12.5 kW power at 300 rpm from the coupling to the pulley. Assume (Ssy = 0.5Syt).

Question
A transmission shaft is supported between two bearings, which are 750 mm a
part. Power is supplied to the shaft through a coupling, which is located to the
left of the left-hand bearing. Power is transmitted from the shaft by means of
a belt pulley, 450 mm in diameter, which is located at a distance of 200 mm
to the right of the left-hand bearing. The weight of the pulley is 300 N and the
ratio of the belt tension of tight and slack sides is 2:1. The belt tensions act in
vertically downward direction. The shaft is made of steel FeE 300 (Syt = 300
N/mm2) and the factor of safety is 3. Determine the shaft diameter, if it
transmits 12.5 kW power at 300 rpm from the coupling to the pulley. Assume
(Ssy = 0.5Syt).
