There is direct relation.

Power(P) = Torque(t)*Angular velocity(w).

(shear stress(s) = 16t/(3.14*d^3).

(w = 2*3.14*n/60).

= s*pi (3.14)*d^3*2*pi*n/60.

Power is directly proportional to d^3 and r.p.m(n).

To get same power for less r.p.m shaft it should have more diameter.

P = TW.
T = PI*DN/60.
D = 1/N.

Diameter is inversely proportional to Rpm.

D is inversely proportional to N.

V = I/60 DN.

= V^1/N.

According to formula Velocity #pi*d*N/60, where d is diameter of shaft, N is speed in rpm. Now N is inversely proportional to 'd'.

Equate power of shaft A and shaft B.

On doing this you get Ta = 1.2Tb.

So diameter of B should be smaller.

This mater is depended on shaft diameter but depended on pulley.

(2*pi*n*t)/60 = (2*pi*N*T)/60.

T in the shaft = (pi*tou*d3)/16.

300*d3 = 250*D3.

d3 = (250/300) *D3.

d = 0.94*D.

Then d is smaller than D.

As speed is inversely proportional to diameter so shaft b has higher speed than its dia must be lower.

Paresh said:   1 decade ago
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.

Angular speed is inversely proportional to Torque.

And Torque is directly proportional to radius.
