use the given information to answer the question.
the horsepower (hp) that a shaft can safely transmit varies jointly with its speed (in revolutions per minute (rpm)) and the cube of the diameter. if the shaft of a certain material 3 inches in diameter can transmit 45 hp at 110 rpm, what must the diameter,d, be in order to transmit 65 hp at 150 rpm? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
d= inches
