  14. Determine the diameter of hollow shaft having inside diameter 0.5 times the outside diameter. The permissible shear stress is limited to 200 MPa. The shaft carries a 900 mm diameter cast iron pulley. This pulley is driven by another pulley mounted on the shaft placed below it. The belt ends are parallel and vertical. The ratio of tensions in the belt is 3. The pulley on the hollow shaft weighs 600 N and overhangs the nearest bearing by 250 mm. The pulley is to transmit 35 kW at 400 r.p.m.
