TORSION
1. The steel shaft, 3 ft long and 4 in. in diameter, carries the end torque of 15 kip - ft.
Determine (a) the maximum shear stress in the shaft; and (b) the angle of twist of the
shaft. Use G = 12 x 106 psi for steel.
2. The torque of 100 kip - ft produces a maximum shear stress of 8000 psi in the 16-ft-
long hollow steel shaft. Note that the inner diameter of the shaft is two-thirds of its
outer diameter D. (a) Determine the outer diameter D. (b) Find the angle of twist of
the shaft. Use G = 12 x 106 psi for steel.
3. Two forces, each of magnitude P, are applied to the wrench. The diameter of the steel
shaft AB is 15 mm. Determine the largest allowable value of P if the shear stress in the
shaft is not to exceed 120 MPa and its angle of twist is limited to 50. Use G = 80 GPa
for steel.
4. The steel shaft is formed by attaching a hollow shaft to a solid shaft. Determine the
maximum torque T that can be applied to the ends of the shaft without exceeding a
shear stress of 70 MPa or an angle of twist of 2.50 in the 3.5-m length. Use G = 83 GPa
for steel.
5. The compound shaft consists of bronze and steel segments, both having 120-mm
diameters. If the torque T causes a maximum shear stress of 100 MPa in the bronze
segment, determine the angle of rotation of the free end. Use G = 83 GPa for steel and
G = 35 GPa for bronze.

6. The solid steel shaft carries the torques T1 = 750 N - m and T2 = 1200 N - m. Using L1
= L2 = 2.5 m and G = 83 GPa, determine the smallest allowable diameter of the shaft
if the shear stress is limited to 60 MPa and the angle of rotation of the free end is not
to exceed 40.
7. The solid compound shaft, made of three different materials, carries the two torques
shown. (a) Calculate the maximum shear stress in each material. (b) Find the angle of
rotation of the free end of the shaft. The shear moduli are 28 GPa for aluminum, 83
GPa for steel, and 35 GPa for bronze.
8. Four pulleys are attached to the 50-mm-diameter aluminum shaft. If torques are
applied to the pulleys as shown in the figure, determine the angle of rotation of pulley
D relative to pulley A. Use G = 28 GPa for aluminum.
9. The compound shaft is attached to a rigid wall at each end. For the bronze segment
AB, the diameter is 75 mm and G = 35 GPa. For the steel segment BC, the diameter is
50 mm and G = 83 GPa. Given that a = 2 m and b = 1.5 m, compute the largest torque

T that can be applied as shown in the figure if the maximum shear stress is limited to
60 MPa in the bronze and 80 MPa in the steel.
10. The ends of the compound shaft are attached to rigid walls. The maximum shear
stress is limited to 10 000 psi for the bronze segment AB and 14 000 psi for the steel
segment BC. Determine the diameter of each segment so that each material is
simultaneously stressed to its permissible limit when the torque T = 16 kip - ft is
applied as shown. The shear moduli are 6 x 106 psi for bronze and 12 x 106 psi for
steel.
11. A hollow steel shaft, 6 ft long, has an outer diameter of 3 in. and an inner diameter of
1.5 in. The shaft is transmitting 200 hp at 120 rev/min. Determine (a) the maximum
shear stress in the shaft; and (b) the angle of twist of the shaft in degrees. Use G = 12
x 106 psi for steel.
12. The steel shaft with two different diameters rotates at 4 Hz. The power supplied to
gear C is 55 kW, of which 35 kW is removed by gear A and 20 kW is removed by gear
B. Find (a) the maximum shear stress in the shaft; and (b) the angle of rotation of gear
A relative to gear C. Use G = 83 GPa for steel.
13. The motor A delivers 3000 hp to the shaft at 1500 rev/min, of which 1000 hp is
removed by gear B and 2000 hp is removed by gear C. Determine (a) the maximum
shear stress in the shaft; and (b) the angle of twist of end D relative to end A. Use G =
12 x 106 psi for steel, and assume that friction at bearing D is negligible.
