Question

The 1.5-in.-diameter shaft AB is made of a grade of steel with a 42-ksi tensile yield stress. Using the maximum-shearing-stress criterion, determine the magnitude of the torque T for which yield occurs when P = 56 kips. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

T = 0.03 Nm.

Explanation:

d = 1.5 in = 0.04 m

r = d/2 = 0.02 m

P = 56 kips = 56 x 6.89 = 386.11 MPa

σ = 42-ksi = 42 x 6.89 = 289.58 MPa

Torque = T =?

Solution:

σ = (P x r) / T

T = (P x r) / σ

T = (386.11 x 0.02) / 289.58

T = 0.03 Nm.
