A hollow circular shaft transmits 25 horsepower while operating at a rate of 180 rev/min. If the shear stress in the shaft is limited to 4750 psi, find the smallest safe thickness (in inches) for the shaft if the outside diameter is 2.5 in and the angle of twist is limited to 8.75° with a length of 8 feet. Use G=12x10 psi for steel.

Question
A hollow circular shaft transmits 25 horsepower while operating at a rate of 180 rev/min. If
the shear stress in the shaft is limited to 475O psi, find the smallest safe thickness (in inches)
for the shaft if the outside diameter is 2.5 in and the angle of twist is limited to 8.75° with a
length of 8 feet. Use G=12x106 psi for steel.
