A drilling riser is used to drill a 4km deep hole into the seabed. The riser can be approximated as a hollow steel shaft of 185mm and 160mm outer and inner diameter respectively. If the power exerted is 230kW and the speed of rotation of the drill is 75RPM, calculate the maximum shear stress in the shaft and the twist of one end relative to the other in degrees.(Note the angle of twist of a 4km drill string is going to be >> 360o ) G = 89 kN/mm2
