STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Torque Transmitted by Shaft: 224499.99458 Newton Millimeter --> 224.49999458 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Key: 5 Millimeter --> 0.005 Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Shaft using Key: 44.98998 Millimeter --> 0.04498998 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Key: 35 Millimeter --> 0.035 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

𝜏_{flat key} = (2*T)/(b_k*d_s*l) --> (2*224.49999458)/(0.005*0.04498998*0.035)

Evaluating ... ...

𝜏_{flat key} = 57028570.000952

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

57028570.000952 Pascal -->57.028570000952 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

57.028570000952 ≈ 57.02857 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Shear Stress
