Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft is defined as the amount of torque or the rotating power transferred from a shaft using a key into it.
Compressive Stress in Key - (Measured in Pascal) - Compressive Stress in Key is the force per unit area of a key cross-section that is responsible for the deformation of the material such that the volume of the material reduces.
Length of Key - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Key is defined as the length of the key which is used to prevent rotation of a machine component or it is the major dimension of the key.
Height of Key - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Key is defined as the vertical length of the key that is used to transmit the torque produced and to restrict the relative movement between two rotating elements.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft: 224500 Newton Millimeter --> 224.5 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Compressive Stress in Key: 128 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 128000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Length of Key: 35 Millimeter --> 0.035 Meter (Check conversion here)
Height of Key: 4.5 Millimeter --> 0.0045 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_s = 4*M_t/(σ_c*l*h) --> 4*224.5/(128000000*0.035*0.0045)

Evaluating ... ...

d_s = 0.0445436507936508

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0445436507936508 Meter -->44.5436507936508 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

44.5436507936508 ≈ 44.54365 Millimeter <-- Diameter of Shaft using Key
