Strength of Materials - Engineering

Q1:

Two shafts 'A' and 'B' transmit the same power. The speed of shaft 'A' is 250 r.p.m. and that of shaft 'B' is 300 r.p.m. The shaft 'B' has the greater diameter.

A True

B False

ANS:B - False

P=(2*π*N*T/60).
So for same power, NT=Constant.
Therefore for less rpm more torque is transferred, so greater the torque greater is the diameter.
