A hollow aluminum tube used in a roof structure has an outside diameter d2= 112mm and an inside diameter d1= 80mm. The tube is 2.80m long, and the aluminum has a shear modulus of G= 28GPa. a. If the tube is twisted in pure torsion by torques acting at the ends, what is the angle of twist, in degrees, when the maximum shear stress is 52MPa? b. What diameter d, in mm, is required for a solid shaft, as shown, to resists the same torque with the same maximum stress? c. What is the ratio of the weight of the hollow tube to the weight of the solid shaft?

Question

A hollow aluminum tube used in a roof structure has an outside diameter d2= 112mm and an inside 
diameter d1= 80mm. The tube is 2.80m long, and the aluminum has a shear modulus of G= 28GPa.
a. If the tube is twisted in pure torsion by torques acting at the ends, what is the angle of twist, in degrees,
when the maximum shear stress is 52MPa?
b. What diameter d, in mm, is required for a solid shaft, as shown, to resists the same torque with the 
same maximum stress?
c. What is the ratio of the weight of the hollow tube to the weight of the solid shaft?
