5 (a) A shaft is supported by two bearing placed 1.5 m apart. A 450 mm diameter flat belt pulley is mounted at a distance of 350 mm to the right of LH bearings and drives a pulley directly below it with the help of flat belt having tension on the tight side of 2.8 kN. Another V-groove pulley 300 mm p.c.d. is placed 300 mm to the left of RH bearing and is driven with the help of electric motor and V-belt. The motor is placed horizontally of V-groove is 35°. Select suitable material for the shaft and determine the diameter of the shaft. What will be the diameter of the shaft, if it is a hollow shaft with ratio dt/do=0.57. Which one will you prefer? Comment on it.
