Solve any one question from Q.2(d) & Q.2(e)
2(d) A shaft carries a 900 N Pulley in the center of two ball bearings which are 1800 mm apart. The pulley is keyed to the shaft and receives 40kW of power at 150rpm. The power is transmitted from the shaft through a flexible coupling just outside the right bearing. The belt derive is horizontal and the sum of the belt tension is 8000N. Calculate the diameter of the shaft if permissible stress in bending is 90 N/mm2 and in shear it is 45 N/mm2.
