Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A solid shaft subjected to a torque of 300 Nm twists by 1.5 radians. What is the length of the shaft given J = 2 x 10^-6 m^4 and G = 79 GPa?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Rearrange the equation wisely.

Question 2

Two helical springs have different diameters and are subjected to the same axial load. If one spring has a larger mean coil diameter, which spring will experience more shear stress?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Relate diameter to stress in your reasoning.
