Question

An automobile engine develops a maximum torque of 162Nm. The low gear ratio of transmission is 2.75, while the back axle ratio is 4.25. The effective wheels radius is 0.325m and the co-efficient of friction between the tyre and the road surface is 0.6. If the permissible shear stress is 32373 X 104Pa. Determine the maximum shaft diameter. Assuming that the load is nearly torsional. What is maximum load permissible on each wheel?

Expert Solution
Step 1

                                                                Introduction

  • In this problem, we utilize the generalized torsional equation to compute the maximum shaft diameter and permitted load on each wheel, taking into account the supplied shear stress and overall torque-producing capacity.

Given data:
