For bronze, G = 35 GPa; aluminum, G = 28 GPa, and for steel, G = 83 GPa. Determine the maximum shearing stress developed in each segment. Hint: The rotation of B relative A is zero. \ Te = 300 N-m Tp = 700Nm C Aluminum’ D Figure 2Question 3. 17 marks ‘Aweight W rests on top of a wall and is attached to one end of a very flexible cord having cross-sectional area A and modulus of elasticity E as shown in figure 3.
