A prospector uses a hand-powered winch to raise a bucket of ore in his mine shaft. The axle of the winch is a steel rod of diameter d = 0.924 inches. Also, the distance from the center of the axle to the center of the lifting rope is b = 5 inches. If the weight of the loaded bucket is W = 80 lb, what is the maximum shear stress in the axle due to torsion in psi? Note Round up final answer to whole number
