Question 1 Explanation:

Given: Length, L=1.5 \mathrm{~m}, Dia, d=100 \mathrm{~mm}=0.1 \mathrm{~mm}
Shear modulus, \mathrm{G}=80 \mathrm{GPa}
N=500 \mathrm{rpm} \text {, }
angle of twist,
\theta=0.5^{\circ}
\theta=0.5 \times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}} \mathrm{rad}
\because As, We know,
\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{J}}=\frac{\mathrm{G} \theta}{\mathrm{L}}
where \mathrm{J} for cylinder solid shaft =\frac{\pi \mathrm{d}^{4}}{32}
Torque,
T=\frac{G \theta \cdot J}{L}=\frac{\left(80 \times 10^{9}\right) \times\left(0.5 \times \frac{\pi}{180}\right)}{1.5} \times \frac{\pi}{32} \times(0.1)^{4} =4.56 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m}
Now, power,
\quad P=T \times \omega=T \times \frac{2 \pi N}{60} =4.56 \times 10^{3} \times \frac{2 \pi \times 500}{60}
P =238.64 \mathrm{~kW}

Question 2 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{d}=10 \mathrm{mm}\\ &\theta=10^{\circ}=10^{\circ} \times \frac{\pi}{180} \text { radian }\\ &\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}=5 \mathrm{mm}\\ &\mathrm{L}=1 \mathrm{m}\\ &\phi_{\max }=P \times 10^{-3}\\ &\text { from torsion equation, } \\ \frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{J}}&=\frac{\tau_{\max }}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{G} \theta}{\ell}\\ &\Rightarrow \frac{\tau_{\max }}{G}=\frac{R \theta}{\ell}\\ &\phi_{\max }=\frac{R \theta}{\ell} \\ P \times 10^{-3}&=\frac{5 \times 10^{\circ} \times \frac{\pi}{180}}{1000}=0.8726 \times 10^{-3} \\ \therefore \;\;P&=0.8726\end{aligned}

Question 3 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} T_{P}+T_{Q} &=T \ldots(i)\\ Q_{P R}+Q_{R Q} &=0 \\ \frac{T_{P} \cdot L}{G I_{P}}+\frac{\left(T_{P}-T\right) 2 L}{G I_{P}} &=0 \\ T_{P}+2 T_{P} &=2 T \\ T_{P} &=\frac{2 T}{3}=100 \mathrm{Nm}\\ \text{From equation (i)}\\ T_{Q}&=\frac{T}{3}=50 \mathrm{N}-\mathrm{m} \end{aligned}

A hollow circular shaft of inner radius 10 mm, outer radius 20 mm and length 1 m is to be used as a torsional spring. If the shear modulus of the material of the shaft is 150 GPa, the torsional stiffness of the shaft (in kN-m/rad) is ________ (correct to two decimal places).

Question 4 Explanation:
\qquad \begin{aligned} \text { Torsional stiffness }&=\frac{G I_{P}}{L} \\ &=\frac{150 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{\pi}{32}\left[0.04^{4}-0.02^{4}\right]}{1} \\ &=35343 \mathrm{Nm} / \mathrm{rad}=35.343 \mathrm{kNm} / \mathrm{rad} \end{aligned}

Question 5 Explanation:
Oldham coupling is used to connect two shafts which are not on the same axis means they are not aligned to the same axis
So,
(1) Torsional load is transferred along shaft axis as both shafts are rotating member.
So, that statement is correct.
(2) A velocity ratio 1:1 between shafts is obtained using gears.
So, this statement is wrong
(3) Bending load is not transferred transverse to shaft axis as there is no transverse load.
(4) Rotation is transferred along shaft axis
So, this statement is correct

There are 5 questions to complete.
in question 24 torque is 1.0 Nm not 10 Nm. Please correct it
In this topic only total 23 questions are there. So can you please verify your question number
I think he means question no. 21. The value of Torque is 1 instead of 10. Or the answer is wrong (1.0 radians instead of 0.1 radians)
Question 11, in explanation factors should be ((r4⁴-r3⁴)(r4⁴ + r3⁴)) in both numerator and denominator.
Question 21, torque is 1 Nm
Question no 8 is actually wrong.. Let me explain.. In the explanation of this question as shown in this page, we get c=2L assuming Mz=0 at x=L… Now, if the question would be correct, then we would also get c=2L assuming Mz=0 at x=-L or assuming Mz=M at x=0. But we actually get different values of ‘c’ in those different assumptions. Hence, it is proved that the question is wrong.

Question no 8 is actually wrong.. Let me explain.. In the explanation of this question as shown in this page, we get c=2L assuming Mz=0 at x=L… Now, if the question would be correct, then we would also get c=2L assuming Mz=M at x=0 since the expression is given to be valid at 0≤x≤L . But we actually get different value of ‘c’ in this assumption. Hence, it is proved that the question is wrong.
I am really sorry.. the question is absolutely correct.. but correct your solution where it is written that c=2L but it would be c=-2L..
