P=2πNT/60.

For same power of two shafts NT=CON,
N=1/T>>>N=1/F. R>>> N1/R.
Here N1<N2 hence R1>R2.
But here it is given B has larger diameter.

Hence it is false statement.

Da = 1.2Db,
Db = 0.833 D.

Here dia of the shaft B will be less compared to the diameter of the shaft A.
Hence the statement is false.

Torque means?

Ranjit chavan said:   8 years ago
P=2 * 3.14 * N * T/60.
Where T=p * R/2.
i.e. 'p' is directly proportional to R.

As Rpm increasing, torque in reduces. As torque reduce the maximum shear stress at the outer most fibre will reduce.

As it's having less shear stress, it required smaller diameter.

Hence when Rpm increasing, the diameter will be smaller When compared to a member having lower Rpm.

If dia of shaft is small then it's rotation is more than the larger dia of shaft.

The torque relation can be obtained from above relation, but not the diameter because, if dia is smaller (as per answer, since torque is less) than even a larger diameter (than dia of shaft A) will be able to sustain that amount of torque.

Though the ' Minimum diameter ' of B will be less than that of A.

Speed of the shaft have no relation to its diameter.

Barath said:   1 decade ago
The power transmitted by the shaft is directly proportional to speed where as the torque is inversely proportional so torque reduces with speed. While designing we take smaller dia for the shaft which has to transmit lesser torque. Remember the formula P = 2*3.14*N*T/60000 KW.

If size of shaft increases then speed decreases.
