Bar ABC of circular section is fixed at its ends and is subjected to a couple T. Section AB has a diameter of 2.4 inches while section BC has a diameter of 0.8 inches. Find the distance x measured from the left endpoint A where the couple T must be applied so that the reaction couples at the supports are equal. Consider a bar length L of 34 inches. Express the result in inches to two decimal places.
