A brass shaft is 20 in. long and has a 4 in. diameter (D). It is xed at its left end and is subjected to torque of 25,000 lbf in. at the right end. What is the largest shear stress x occurring anywhere in the shaft? If G for brass is 5.5 106 psi, what is the angle of twist at x = 8 in. and at the right end of the shaft?

G = 5.5 106 psi 25,000 lbf - in x 20 4 dia
