The compound shaft consists of a solid aluminum segment (1) and a hollow brass segment (2) that are connected at flange B and securely attached to rigid supports at A and C. Aluminum segment (1) has a diameter of 0.80 in., a length of L1 = 40 in., a shear modulus of 3800 ksi, and an allowable shear stress of 6.3 ksi. Brass segment (2) has an outside diameter of 0.60 in., a wall thickness of 0.05 in., a length of L2 = 30 in., a shear modulus of 6400 ksi, and an allowable shear stress of 7.7 ksi. Determine: (a) the allowable torque TB that can be applied to the compound shaft at flange B.
