5-64. The device serves as a compact torsion spring. It is made of A-36 steel and consists of a solid inner shaft CB which is surrounded by and attached to a tube AB using a rigid ring at B. The ring at A can also be assumed rigid and is fixed from rotating. If the allowable shear stress for the material is Tallow =12 ksi and the angle of twist at C is limited to 30, determine the maximum torque T that can be applied at the end C.

5-63. The device serves as a compact torsional spring. It is made of A-36 steel and consists of a solid inner shaft CB which is surrounded by and attached to a tube AB using a rigid ring at B. The ring at A can also be assumed rigid and is fixed from rotating. If a torque of T= 2 kip • in. is applied to the shaft, determine the angle of twist at the end C and the maximum shear stress in the tube and shaft.

5-58. The motor delivers 40 hp to the 304 stainless steel solid shaft while it rotates at 20 Hz. The shaft has a diameter of 1.5 in. and is supported on smooth bearings at A and B, which allow free rotation of the shaft. The gears C and D fixed to the shaft remove 25 hp and 15 hp, respectively. Determine the absolute maximum stress in the shaft and the angle of twist of gear C with respect to gear D.

•5-57. The motor delivers 40 hp to the 304 stainless steel shaft while it rotates at 20 Hz. The shaft is supported on smooth bearings at A and B, which allow free rotation of the shaft. The gears C and D fixed to the shaft remove 25 hp and 15 hp, respectively. Determine the diameter of the shaft to the nearest 1/8 in. if the allowable shear stress is Tallow= 8 ksi and the allowable angle of twist of C with respect to D is 0.2 degree.
