An automobile engine supplies power, P = 190 hp, at a rotational speed of 3600 rpm to a driveshaft. If the allowable shear stress in the driveshaft must be limited to Tallow = 4.00 ksi, determine: (a) the minimum diameter required for a solid driveshaft. (b) the maximum inside diameter permitted for a hollow driveshaft if the outside diameter is D = 2.25 in. (c) the percent savings in weight realized if the hollow shaft is used instead of the solid shaft.

An automobile engine supplies power, P = 190 hp, at a rotational speed of 3600 rpm to a driveshaft. If the allowable shear stress in the
driveshaft must be limited to Tallow = 4.00 ksi, determine:
(a) the minimum diameter required for a solid driveshaft.
(b) the maximum inside diameter permitted for a hollow driveshaft if the outside diameter is D = 2.25 in.
(c) the percent savings in weight realized if the hollow shaft is used instead of the solid shaft.
Part 1
Calculate the torque T in the driveshaft.
Answer: T = i
lb-ft.
