A new fiber-optic cable was laid under the Pacific ocean from Califormia to Japan, a distance of 13,300 km. The cable was unreeled (unwound) from shipboard at a mean tempreature of 22°C & dropped in to the ocean. Ocean had a mean tempreature of 5°C. The coefficient of linear expansion of the cable is 75×10-6C. Determine the length of the cable that must be carried on the ship to span the 13,300 km.

A hollow shaft of diameter ratio(3/8) is required to transmit 635 kW at 120 RPM, the maximum torque being 21% greater than the mean. The shear stress is not to exceed 66 MN/m2 & the twist in a length of 3 m not to exceed 1.5 degrees. Calculate the maximum external diameter which would satisfy both the conditions. Take modulus of rigidity=87GN/m2.
