Problem 1. Determine the maximum shear stress Problem 2. Determine the shear stress developed
developed in the 40-mm diameter shaft. in the material at the inner and outer walls along
the central portion in the shaft at section a-a.
Problem 3. An 8 hp motor is used to transmit
power to the shaft AB, in which this shaft rotates at
ω = 200 rpm, and is then transmitted to shaft CD
Problem 4. The 60-mm-diameter A-36 steel shaft
using the gears at E and F. Determine the
is subjected to the torques shown. Determine the
maximum shear stress in each shaft. The bearings
angle of twist of end A with respect to C.
B, C, and D allow free rotation of the shafts, and
the motor holds the shafts fixed from rotating.
