Question
One shaft is in torsion as shown below. If the magnitude of shear stress at point A is 245.3 MPa, calculate the magnitude of the shear stress at point B on the same cross-section as point A: ___ MPa.
Calculate your answer to one decimal place.

Transcribed Image Text:**Torsion of a Shaft**
One shaft is in torsion as shown below. If the magnitude of shear stress at point A is 245.3 MPa, calculate the magnitude of the shear stress at point B on the same cross-section as point A: ___ MPa.
Calculate your answer to one decimal place.
**Diagram Explanation**
The diagram depicts a cylindrical shaft under torsion with two specific points marked on its cross-section:
- **Point A** is located at the surface of the cylinder and is 40 mm from the center.
- **Point B** is located closer to the center, 30 mm from the center.
The torsional force is represented by an arrow and is labeled as \( T \). The radius at point A (40 mm) is the maximum radius, indicating the location of maximum shear stress in a circular shaft under torsion. Point B, being closer to the axis, will have a lower shear stress compared to point A.
