Transcribed Image Text:### 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:
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.
