Question
### Problem Statement:

Shafts \(ab\) and \(ce\) are supported by pillow bearing blocks as shown. Compute the angle of twist at point \(a\). Report your answer in degrees to two decimal places.

### Diagram Explanation:

- **Layout and Measurements:**
  - Shaft \(ab\) is on the right side with a length of 35 inches.
  - Shaft \(ce\) is on the left side composed of two segments:
    - Segment \(cd\) with a length of 30 inches.
    - Segment \(de\) with a length of 25 inches.

- **Torque:**
  - A torque of 2 in-k (inch-kilopounds) is applied at the right end of shaft \(ab\).
  - A torque of 5 in-k is applied between the bearings on shaft \(ce\).

- **Bearings:**
  - Shaft \(ab\) is supported by two bearings between points \(b\) and \(c\).
  - Shaft \(ce\) is supported by two bearings between points \(d\) and \(e\).

- **Gears:**
  - Gear \(c\) has a radius of 2.0 inches.
  - Gear \(b\) has a radius of 5.0 inches.

### Shaft Specifications:

- **Shaft \(ab\):** Radius = 0.5 inches.
- **Shaft \(ce\):** Radius = 0.7 inches.

### Material Properties:

- **All Shafts:** Shear Modulus \(G = 12000\) ksi (kilo-pounds per square inch).

The task is to calculate the angle of twist at point \(a\) and express it in degrees, accurate to two decimal places.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given

We must apply the relation shown below to get the angle of twist at point a:

T over J equals final sigma over r equals fraction numerator G theta over denominator l end fraction

where,

T = torque acting at that point

J = the polar moment of inertia of the shaft.

r = the radius of the shaft.

G = the modulus of rigidity of the shaft.

l = the shaft length.
