A force of P = 30 N is applied to a lever at the end of a composite shaft. Sleeve (1) has a polar moment of inertia of 67,700 mm4 and a shear modulus of 1.6 GPa. Core (2) has a polar moment of inertia of 23,000 mm4 and a shear modulus of 1.5 GPa. Determine the torque produced in core (2). Let a = b = 200 mm.

A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 7 No. 7 bars at a depth of 16 in. The top row contains 5 No. 8 bars at a depth of 12 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., d’ = 2.5 in., and d = 27.5 in. It is reinforced with 2 No. 5 bars on the compression side and 5 No. 8 bars on the tension side. The concrete strength is 2,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. For the results given below, determine the strength Mn for this beam.a = 6.102 in. (depth of concrete stress block)Cc = 201.8 kips (compressive force in concrete)Cs = 35.2 kips (compressive force in steel)T = 237.0 kips (tensile force in steel)
