A torque of 27 lb·in. is applied to one end of a 6-in.-long composite shaft that consists of two polymer tubes. The outer tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.0488 in.4 and a shear modulus of 160 ksi. The inner tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.00501 in.4 and a shear modulus of 190 ksi. Determine the magnitude of the torque produced in the outer tube.

A steel [E = 30,400 ksi, G = 11,600 ksi] socket extension (2) has a diameter of 0.50 in. and a length of L = 1.3 in. It connects socket (3) to ratchet handle (1) which is 7.0 in. long. If a perpendicular force of 17 lb is applied to the end of the ratchet handle, determine the maximum shear stress in the socket extension.

You knew there had to be one of these. In the situation shown below, the initial velocity is zero. a) Will the blocks move? If so, b) Calculate their velocity exactly 535 milliseconds after they are released from rest. c) Find the tension in the cable between the blocks exactly 375 ms after they are released. You may assume that all values in the diagram are good to 3 significant figures.

A conveyor belt moves crushed coal to the top of a 137-foot-high oven. The conveyor belt is angled at 17.3 degrees above the horizontal. The machine lifts 13,700 pounds per minute of coal to the top of the oven. It moves very slowly, so the kinetic energy added to the coal is negligible. The system is driven by a large electric motor and operates 16 hours per day, 6 days per week. If the entire system is 71.3% efficient in converting electrical energy to gravitational potential energy in the coal, and if electricity costs 13.7 cents per KWHR, calculate the average monthly electric cost to run this device.
