About half a stone give or take a few pounds
Both the length and the rpm of the prop affect the speed of the aircraft. Larger, slower turning props are more efficient at the speeds at which most prop aircraft operate. If the tip speed of a prop exceeds the sound barrier, a prop will suddenly loose a large part of its thrust. The loud crackling noise you hear on takeoff is not the engine, but the prop tips nibbling at the sound barrier. DAN Both the length and the rpm of the prop affect the speed of the aircraft.

Prop wash is caused by the turbulent airflow produced by rotating aircraft propellers. This airflow can create disturbances in the air that can affect an aircraft's performance, especially during takeoff and landing. Prop wash can also create challenges for ground handling personnel and other aircraft in the vicinity due to the strong airflow and turbulence it generates.
I would say anywhere from 1 to 20 lbs but i don't know for sure.
Make sure the key is the correct size for the keyway on both the shaft and pulley. Insert the key into the keyway on the shaft. Slide the pulley onto the shaft, ensuring that the key fits snugly into both the keyway on the shaft and the pulley.
The shaft work formula used to calculate the work done by a rotating shaft is: Work Torque x Angular Displacement.
1) Drive-shafts are used on FWD but Prop-Shafts are used on RWD or 4WD. 2)A Drive-Shaft has final drive via a CV joint but a Prop-Shaft has final drive via a Differential. 3)A Drive-Shaft is smaller, lighter and saves space by not having a transmition tunnel.
Unbolt the prop shaft.
It allows a reduction in transmission tunnel height.The critical speed of the total prop shaft arrangement is higher without increasing the diameter (reducing shaft whip).
This would depend greatly on your prop shaft... Water craft, Airplane... Car? But two test that should apply to all categories might be: vibration and fatigue.
Drive shaft couplings and prop shaft couplings serve similar functions in connecting rotating shafts, but they are not necessarily the same. Drive shaft couplings are typically used in various applications, including vehicles and machinery, to transmit torque and accommodate misalignment. Prop shaft couplings, on the other hand, are specifically designed for marine applications, connecting the engine's power output to the propeller shaft. While they both facilitate power transfer, their design and applications differ based on the environment and requirements.
right behind the prop, on the same shaft
To remove the prop shaft from a Polaris Sportsman 500 for U-joint replacement, start by lifting the ATV and securing it on jack stands. Then, remove the bolts securing the prop shaft to the front and rear differentials, using a socket wrench. After disconnecting the shaft, you may need to slide it out of the splined connection at the front or rear. Once free, you can access and replace the U-joints.
This depends entirely on what make model and year the machine is as well as why it is being driven. It is not safe to use it as a loader with the prop shaft missing, but it might be if it is just being moved.
About 3 foot
The shaft itself rarely needs to be replaced, but it is often cheaper to replace than repair. The only thing that `requires`replacement of the shaft is if the shaft itself is bent or damaged. Joints, slip yokes and such can be changed.
The Prop shaft (front drive shaft) has a ball type cv joint that sits in bearings that connects to the transfer case. This is most likely shot and you need a front prop shaft (front drive shaft) complete with rubber boot and differential cv universal joint.
1. Driveshafts are smaller and lighter. 2. A prop shafts final drive goes through a dfferential, whereas a driveshaft uses a cv joint.
