The solid circular steel shaft of a screwdriver is subjected to torque T. The shaft has a diameter of 0.451 in. and a length of L = 4.25 in. For a factor of safety of 2.0 and a shearing yield strength of 16 ksi, determine the maximum torque T that can be applied to the shaft.

A dump truck axle with a diameter of 1.60 in. and a length of 36 in. failed while transmitting a power of 530 hp and a torque of 5,430 lb-ft. At what speed was the axle spinning when it broke?

A dump truck axle with a diameter of 1.70 in. and a length of 37 in. failed while transmitting a power of 420 hp and a torque of 6,030 lb-ft. At what speed was the axle spinning when it broke?

A steel [E = 30,000 ksi, G = 11,900 ksi] socket extension (2) has a diameter of 0.32 in. and a length of L = 2.3 in. It connects socket (3) to ratchet handle (1) which is 5.2 in. long. If a perpendicular force of 8.0 lb is applied to the end of the ratchet handle, determine the socket extension’s angle of twist.

A steel [E = 30,100 ksi, G = 11,900 ksi] socket extension (2) has a diameter of 0.47 in. and a length of L = 1.5 in. It connects socket (3) to ratchet handle (1) which is 7.1 in. long. If a perpendicular force of 18 lb is applied to the end of the ratchet handle, determine the maximum shear stress in the socket extension.

A torque of 22 lb·in. is applied to one end of a 7-in.-long composite shaft that consists of two polymer tubes. The outer tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.0406 in.4 and a shear modulus of 180 ksi. The inner tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.00779 in.4 and a shear modulus of 160 ksi. Determine the magnitude of the torque produced in the outer tube.
