A hollow circular section shaft 2 m long is firmly supported at each end and has an outside diameter of 80 mm. The shaft is subjected to a torque of 12 kNm applied at a point 1.5 m from one end. If the shear stress in the shaft is limited to 150 N/mm² and the angle of twist to 1.5°, calculate the maximum allowable internal diameter. The shear modulus G = 80000 N/mm?. Ans. 63.7 mm.
