Question:

The steel shaft is made from two segments: AC has a diameter of 0.5 in, and CB has a diameter of 1 in. If the shaft is fixed at its ends A and B and subjected to a torque of 500 lb # ft, determine the maximum shear stress in the shaft. G_st= 10.8(10³) ksi.

0.5 in. D_ 500 Ib-ft 5 in. 1 in. 8 in. 12 in.
