Question
### Analysis of Shear Stress in Coupled Circular Shafts

**Problem Statement:**

Two solid circular shafts, denoted as \( AB \) and \( BC \), are fixed to rigid walls at points \( A \) and \( C \), respectively. Members \( AB \) and \( BC \) are coupled together through a rigid plate at point \( B \). An external torque is applied at point \( B \) as depicted in the accompanying figure. The task is to determine the absolute maximum shear stress developed in the complete structure spanning from \( A \) to \( C \). Both members \( AB \) and \( BC \) are composed of an aluminum alloy with a shear modulus \( G = 60 \, \text{GPa} \).

**Note:** Disregard the effect of stress concentration in this analysis.

**Figure Explanation:**

- The diagram illustrates two segments of a shaft, \( AB \) and \( BC \), connected at a central point \( B \) by a rigid plate.
- The total length of \( AB \) is \( 100 \, \text{mm} \), and the length of \( BC \) is \( 150 \, \text{mm} \).
- The diameter of the shafts is indicated as \( 20 \, \text{mm} \).
- A torque of \( 5 \, \text{kN} \cdot \text{m} \) is applied at the junction \( B \).
- The shafts are fixed at their respective ends, \( A \) and \( C \), to rigid supports.

This setup is designed to analyze the distribution and intensity of shear stress in the shafts due to the applied torque.
