8: The steel rod fits loosely inside the aluminum sleeve. Both components are attached to a rigid wall at A andjoined together by a pin at B. Because of a slight misalignmentof the pre-drilled holes, the torque T0 = 750 N-m was appliedto the steel rod before the pin could be inserted into theholes. Determine the torque (N-m) in each component afterT0 was removed. Use G = 80 GPa for steel and G = 28 GPa foraluminum
