Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A circular shaft of 0.08 m diameter and length 1.5 m is subjected to a torque of 300 Nm. Calculate the shear stress at a distance of 0.04 m from the center and the angle of twist. Shear modulus is 70 GPa.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Utilize the correct formulas in steps.

Question 2

Design a hollow shaft that can safely handle a torque of 1000 Nm without exceeding a shear stress of 50 MPa. Determine the outer and inner diameters, assuming a material with a shear modulus of 75 GPa.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to rearrange the formula to find the necessary diameters.
