The torsion BAR shown is designed to hold 30.000 in ib of torque per degree of twist Given G = 11.4x10^6psg L=12\" determine the rep\'a dimeter of the bar
Solution
Second moment of area of the cross section of cylinder,I = pi r ^4 / 2
but T = I G (theta) / l
80,000in lbs = 1.57*11.4*10^6 psi * r^4 / 12 inch =>
921.69 Nm = 4.04*10^11 r^4
r = 0.69 cm
d = 1.38cm
