The magnitude of angle of twist in the shaft at rated load

Reference no: EM13549478

The hydraulic turbines in a water-power plant rotate at 60rpm and are rated at 20, 000 hp. The 30 in-diameter shaft between the turbine and the generator is made of steel (G = 12, 000 ksi) and is 20 ft long. Determine (a) The maximum shearing stress in the shaft at the rated load. (b) The magnitude of the angle of twist in the shaft at the rated load.
