Question: Problem 2 . You use a handheld drill with the drill bit shown. This bit has three sections that all vary in length and diameters

Problem 2.
You use a handheld drill with the drill bit shown. This bit has three sections that all vary in length and diameters (all dimensions provided). The shank is held in the drill's chuck, so to simplify this problem, let's assume that only an external point torque, \( T_{l}\), is applied by the drill at 15 mm from the leftmost end as shown.
Let's also assume that the flutes (the cutting ridges on the right end of the drill) are within a hole that you drilled into a piece of wood causing a distributed load to act along the 30 mm length of the flutes. No torque is applied along the 4 mm long "step" between the shaft and the flutes (section \( B C \)).
This bit is made of steel, with a shear yield stress of 80 MPa .
(a) You drill into a piece of wood and apply a torque of \( T_{l}=0.3\) N.m. What is the resisting torque per unit length \( t \) applied by the wood along the length of the flutes in units of (N.m)/m?
(b) Next, determine the internal torque, shear stress, and twist as a function of \( x \) along the entire length of the bit. Clearly delineate each section by the letters \( A, B, C, D \) in your response. Assume a nominal diameter (which is provided as 4 mm ) and minimal circular cross-section along the flutes.
(c) For the functions determined in part b, plot the internal torque, shear stress, and twist as a function of x along the length of the bit. Clearly delineate each section by the letters \( A, B \),\( C, D \) in your response.
(d) Determine if failure (yielding) occurred in this bit based on maximum distortion energy theory and maximum shear stress theory. If failure has not occurred, what is the factor of safety for this drill bit?
(e) Last, you can see a fillet in the image provided at point \( B \). So, let's add one to this design (fillets are often used to reduce stress concentrations when the diameter of a shaft is changed). Assume that the drill bit is made from a brittle steel. What is the minimum fillet radius you can use to ensure that this drill bit will not fail under the torques applied in this problem? (Note - use the stress concentration tables in chapter 5 for torsion!!!)
