1. The solid compound shaft, made of
three different materials, carries the
two torques shown. (a) Calculate the
maximum shear stress in each
material. (b) Find the angle of rotation
of the free end of the shaft. The shear
moduli are 28 GPa for aluminum, 83
GPa for steel, and 35 GPa for bronze.

2. Four pulleys are attached to the 50-
mm-diameter aluminum shaft. If
torques are applied to the pulleys as
shown in the figure, determine the
angle of rotation of pulley D relative to
pulley A. Use G = 28 GPa for aluminum.
3. Both ends of the steel shaft are
attached to rigid supports. Find the
distance a where the torque T must be
applied so that the reactive torques at
A and B are equal.
4. A closely-coiled helical spring is to
carry a load of 1 KN. Its mean
diameter is to be 10 times that of wire
diameter. Calculate these diameters if
the maximum shear stress in the
material of the spring is to be 90 MPa.
5. A helical spring is fabricated by wrapping wire 3/4 in. in diameter around a forming cylinder
8 in. in diameter. Compute the number of turns required to permit an elongation of 4 in.
without exceeding a shearing stress of 18 ksi. Use G = 12 × 106 psi.
