Question: A 3 0 - in - wide by 0 . 1 1 0 - in - thick by 1 4 0 - in - long

A 30-in-wide by 0.110-in-thick by 140-in-long steel sheet is to be formed into a hollow section by being bent through 360 degrees and having the long edges welded together. Assume a cross
- sectional medial length of 30 in. If the maximum shear stress must be limited to 17 ksi, determine the maximum torque that can be carried by the hollow section if (a) the shape of the section is a circle (b) the shape of the section is an equilateral triangle (c) the shape of the section is a square (d) the shape of the section is a rectangle measuring 9.0x6.0 in.
