Question 5: A stepped shaft is subjected to three torques acting as shown below. Part of the shaft (BC) is hollow and the entire shaft is made of steet with G =80 GPa and a yield stress of 150 MPa Dimensions fothameter and iength) gond magnitude of the torques are given in the diagran:
[12 marks](a) determine the maximum shear stress in the stepped shaft and sketch the corresponding variation of shear stress along the shaft radius at this point.
[8 marks](b) find the angle of twist at the free end of the shaft and give your answer in degrees.
[2 marks](c) A shoulder fillet is used at the steps in the shaf (points B and C) to reduce the stress concentration factor K to a value of 1.4 Is this sufficient to avond failure in the shaft?
( provide the answer with detailed steps and these are previous years past papers)
