Question: Problem # 3 : ( 4 0 points ) The thin - walled cross section in Figure 3 is subjected to a counterclockwise torque T

Problem #3: (40 points) The thin-walled cross section in Figure 3 is subjected to a counterclockwise torque T=20kN-m(not shown on the figure). The wall thickness is t=10mm everywhere on the cross section. The left cell (#1) is a semicircle of radius 8t and a straight edge of length 16t; and the right cell (#2) is a combined semicircle of radius 8t and three straight edges of length 16t each. The shear modulus is G=25GPa everywhere on the cross section.
a) Find the algebraic equations that determine the shear flows everywhere on the cross section. (You don't need to solve them, yet.)
b) Using the equations found in part a), determine the shear flows everywhere on the cross section. Draw a clear picture describing where each acts.
c) Find the angle of twist per unit length and the torsional rigidity T.R. of the cross section.
