A horizontal nickel steel shaft rests on two bearings, A at the left and B at the right end and carries two gears C and D. The shaft transmits 20 kW at 120 RPM. The gear C and D weighs 950 N and 350 N respectively. Find the diameter of the shaft, if the working stress is 100 MPa in tension and 56 MPa in shear.
