The engine of a ship develops 440 kW and transmits the power by a horizontal propeller shaft which runs at 120 r.p.m. It is proposed to design a hollow propeller shaft with inner diameter as 0.6 of the outer diameter. Considering torsion alone, calculate the diameter of the propeller shaft if stress in the material is not to exceed 63 MPa and also the angular twist over a length of 2.5 m is not to be more than 1°. The modulus of rigidity of the shaft material is 80 GPa.
