5. Calculate the maximum shear stress in a 6 mm diameter bolt when tightened by a force
of 50 N at the end of a 150 mm spanner. What would be the corresponding stress in
a 10 mm diameter bolt? Shear force and bending moment

6. A gear wheel is keyed to a 50 mm diameter shaft by a square section key of width w mm
and length 50 mm. The load on the wheel teeth amounts to 5000 N at a radius of 150 mm.
If the shear stress in the key is to be twice the maximum shear stress in the shaft, calculate
the width w.

7. A solid circular shaft is connected to the drive shaft of an electric motor by a solid flanged
coupling, the drive being taken through eight bolts, of 12 mm diameter, on a pitch circle
diameter of 225 mm. The bolts carry the whole driving torque and are loaded in shear
only. Calculate the shaft diameter if the maximum shear stress in the shaft is to be equal
to the shear stress in the bolts.

(80.3 mm) The shear force in a beam at any section is the force transverse to the beam tending
8. A length of hollow steel shaft is used to drill a hole 3 km deep in rock. The power exerted to cause it to shear across the section. Figure 16.1 shows a beam under a transverse

percentage by which the shaft will be stronger if made solid instead of hollow and the
external diameter is the same.

10. A hollow shaft driving a ship's screw is to carry a torque of 13 kN m and is to be of
150 mm diameter externally. Calculate the inside diameter if the maximum shear stress
is not to exceed 40 MN/m2. Calculate the angle of twist in degrees on a 5.5 m length
