Q3. A compound shaft consisting of a steel segment and an aluminum segment is acted upon by
two torques as shown. Determine the maximum permissible value of T subject to the
following conditions: st 100 MPa, al 60 MPa, and the angle of rotation of the free end is
limited to 5o. For steel, G = 83 GPa and for aluminum, G = 28 GPa.

Q4. A circular bar ABC, 3 m long, is rigidly fixed at its ends A and C. The portion AB is 1.8 m
long and of 50 mm diameter and BC is 1.2 m long and of 25 mm diameter. If a twisting
moment of 1 kNm is applied at B, determine the values of the resisting moments at A and C
and the maximum stress in each section of the shaft. What will be the angle of twist of each
portion? For the material of the shaft G = 80 GPa.
