A propeller shaft for a small yacht is made ofa solid steel bar 104 mm in diameter. The allowablestress in shear is 48 MPa, and the allowable rate oftwist is 2.08 in 3.5 meters.(a) Assuming that the shear modulus of elasticityis G = 80 GPa, determine the maximum torqueTmax that can be applied to the shaft.(b) Repeat part (a) if the shaft is now hollow withan inner diameter of 5d/8. Compare Tmaxvaluesto corresponding values from part (a).
