the above torque value falls in V-287, 15:1 ratio gear box rating
So the requird gear box size is V -287, ratio 15:1 and the motor of capacity 3 HP

If Tc is the maximum continuous rated torque on the impeller shaft

Tc =

If Tm is the torque to be resisted under jammed condition
Tm =

1.319559 ton-inch
This torque Tm is resisted bya force Fm tons acting at a ardius of 0.75r from the axis of impeller shaft
Fm =
