Chapter 6, Problem 4ICA
Two cargo trains each leave their respective stations at 1:00 p.m. and approach each other, one traveling west at 10 miles per hour and the other on separate tracks traveling east at 15 miles per hour. The stations are 100 miles apart. Find the time when the trains meet, and determine how far the eastbound train has traveled.

Q
Derive (continuity equation)?
I want to derive clear mathematics.
motor supplies 200 kW at 6 Hz to flange A of the shaft shown in Figure. Gear B transfers 125 W of power to operating machinery in the factory, and the remaining power in the shaft is mansferred by gear D. Shafts (1) and (2) are solid aluminum (G = 28 GPa) shafts that have the same diameter and an allowable shear stress of t= 40 MPa. Shaft (3) is a solid steel (G = 80 GPa) shaft with an allowable shear stress of t = 55 MPa. Determine:
a) the minimum permissible diameter for aluminum shafts (1) and (2)
b) the minimum permissible diameter for steel shaft (3).
c) the rotation angle of gear D with respect to flange A if the shafts have the minimum permissible diameters as determined in (a) and (b).
