A drill rod with a diameter of 12 mm is made of high- strength steel alloy with a shear modulus of 80 GPa. The rod is to be subjected to a torque T. What is the minimum required length L of the rod so that the cross section at one end can be rotated 900 with respect to the other end without exceeding an allowable shear stress of 300 MPa?
