A segment of a generator shaft with a hollow circular cross-section is subjected to a torque T = 240 kip-in. (see figure). The outer and inner diameters of the shaft are 8.0 in. and 6.25 in., respectively. What is the maximum permissible compressive load P that can be applied to the shaft if the allowable in-plane shear stress is π_allow = 6250 psi?
