A rotating hollow shaft is to transmit 30kw at 300rpm, the maximum torque being 20% greater than the mean. The shear stress is not to exceed 60Mpa and twist in a length of 2 meters not to exceed 1.2 degrees. Find the external diameter of the shaft if the external diameter to internal diameter ratio of 2.5. Consider modulus of rigidity as 84 Gpa.
