A compound shaft drives several pulleys, as shown. Segments (1) and (2) of the compound shaft are hollow aluminum (G = 4000 ksi) shafts that have a polar moment of inertia of J = 2.835 in4. Segments (3) and (4) are solid steel (G = 12000 ksi) shafts that have polar moment inertia of J = 1.024 in4. The bearings shown allow the shaft to turn freely. Assume TB = 980 lb.ft TD= 525 lb.ft TE = 130lb.ft L1 =74in L2 =29in L3 =34in L4 =35in. Calculate the rotation angle (including the correct sign) of pulley E with respect to point A.
