I have been attempting the Solidworks Simulation certification but keep just missing out by a few marks and I believe these questions are the main ones which are killing me. I haven't done these calculations in years and I've been lost with how to do the hand calc's. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean? The question above is one which was put to me while doing an online test regarding FEA software. Most questions were based on the software which was fine, but then a few questions required hand calculations. And I'm rather rusty when it comes to that since I haven't done any...

Hi guys, I'm trying to work out the following: Assume uniform shear stress distribution across "Key" width. What is the shear stress (psi) on the "Key" at the interface with the "Shaft"? Torque (in-lb) = 4959 Shaft diameter (in) = 2 Key width/height (in) = 0.3 Key length (in) = 2
