Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A circular shaft fixed at both ends experiences a torque of 200 N·m. If the shear modulus is 80 GPa and the polar moment of inertia is 30 × 10^-6 m^4, calculate the angle of twist.

💡 Hint: You might need the length of the shaft to solve fully.

Question 2

Design a scenario where a shaft fixed at both ends would fail under excessive torque, outlining the reasons for its failure.

💡 Hint: Consider how material limits influence design choices.
