Determine an appropriate size for a square cross-section solid steel shaft to transmit 260 hp at a speed of 550 rev/min if the maximum allowable shear stress is 15 kpsi.

Agroup of students were investigating the force of gravity. they began by dropping a foam ball from a height of 3 meters into a bucket of sand. the ball hit the sand in 0.306 seconds. they dropped additional balls of approximately the same diameter, but of different masses. here is the data they collected. based on this experiment and the collected data, what would their conclusion be?
