Question: Given the above cylinder, set up the minimization problem that will minimize the weight of the cylinder if the torsional shear stress cant exceed 1

Given the above cylinder, set up the minimization problem that will minimize the weight of the cylinder if the torsional shear stress cant exceed 15000 psi and the maximum deflection can be no larger than 0.05 radian.
Shear stress =TrJ
Deflection Theta=TL/GJ
Just form the equation thats the whole question. To minimize weight you reduce the area as there is no information of material use.
Given the above cylinder, set up the minimization
