Question 1

What is the primary consequence of applying torque to a shaft fixed at both ends?

  • The shaft twists
  • The shaft bends
  • The shaft compresses

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how torque affects a rotating object.

Question 2

True or False: The angular displacement at the fixed ends of a shaft must remain zero.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: What happens when ends are held firmly?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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

πŸ’‘ 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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how material limits influence design choices.
