For the dial assembly of the figure shows a dial assembly. The dial is $500-\mathrm{mm}-\mathrm{dia}$ by $16-\mathrm{mm}$-thick solid steel and is bolted to the top flange of the shaft. The shaft is $70 \mathrm{~mm}$ $\mathrm{dia}$ over length $L_{1}$ and $40 ~\mathrm{mm}$ dia over length $L_{2}$ and is carried on tapered roller bearings All shaft fillet radii are $0.5 \mathrm{~mm}$. A $5 -\mathrm{kw}$ motor drives the shaft through a $20: 1$ reduction gearbox and a commercial bellows coupling. The maximum rated torque from the motor is $17.75 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m}$ and its stall torque is $3 \mathrm{x}$ its rated torque. Find the maximum stress and angular deflection in the shaft under conditions of dial locked and motor at stall. and the figure, find the first torsional natural frequency of the shaft-dial assembly as felt at the motor shaft. The gearbox has a torsional stiffness of $1.56 E~ 5 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{rad}$ and the coupling has a torsional stiffness of $5.1 E 5$ $\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{rad}$. Assume the dial is empty of tooling and all ground support is infinitely stiff.
