Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a hollow shaft with outer diameter 90 mm, inner diameter 70 mm, and it’s 3 m long. If a torque of 500 NΒ·m is applied, find the angle of twist and shear stress.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Make sure to consider the dimensions while calculating.

Question 2

Given a hollow shaft designed for rigidity, how would you optimize the outer diameter for a specified shear stress if the inner diameter is fixed? Present calculations.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Discuss material selection and dimensions effectively.
