1. A steel shaft that is submitted to torsion of 14 kN-m and as a length of 6 m. Calculate:

a) The minimum diameter of the shaft, if the submitted torsion must not exceed an angular
deformation of 3° (G=83GPa).
b) Which will be the maximum shear stress?

3. The solid bar has a diameter of 0.74 in. If it is subjected to the torsions shown, determine the
maximum shear stress generated in the regions AB, BC, CD, DE and EF of the bar. The bearing
at A and F permit the free rotation of the bar.

4. An analyst uses a handle and a winch to elevate a basket full of mineral from a mine. The shaft
of the winch is made of steel with a diameter d = 0.5 in and the distance from the center of the
shaft to the center of the rope is b = 4 in. If the weight of the basket with the mineral is 90 Lb.
Which will be the maximum shear stress, due to torsion, in the shaft?

5. The gears and the ends apply torsion to a steel shaft. G = 75 GPa, d = 25 mm, L1 = 200 mm, L2 = 300
mm, L3 = 400 mm, TA = 250 Nm, TB = -400 Nm, TC = -350 Nm, and TD = 500 Nm. Calculate:
a) The maximum shear stress in the shaft.
b) The angle of torsion, relative, between the ends (θD/A = θD-θA).
