- Correct answers are written below. Detailed and correct solution only with fbd. I will upvote. 1: A 3 m alloy shaft fixed at one end has a torsional shearing stress capacity of 55 MPa. Due to improper fabrication, its cross-sectionalarea has become irregularly shaped. Its effective polar moment of inertia has become 2 x10-7 m4, and the maximum torque stress acts at 7.5 cm fromthe center of the shaft.[1]: If the shaft is to be replaced by a properly manufactured solid circular shaft that has a maximumshearing stress capacity of 70 MN/m2, what is the minimum diameter required so it can withstand the sameload? [2]: Calculate the thickness of a hollow circular shaft with the same outside diameter calculated initem [1] that can carry the same load. Limit the maximum shearing stress of the hollow circular shaft to0.09 GPa.Determine the angle of twist on the free end of the shaft. Use G = 150 x103 GPa.

Blood flows at a velocity of 20 cm/s through an arteriole with a diameter of 0.20 cm. This vessel bifurcates into two vessels: one with a diameter of 0.17 cm and a blood flow velocity of 18 cm/sec, and one with a diameter of 0.15 cm. Each of these two vessels splits again. The 0.17-cm diameter vessel splits into two vessels, each with a diameter of 0.15 cm. The 0.15-cm diameter vessel splits into two vessels, each with a diameter of 0.12 cm. Determine the mass flow rate and velocity of blood in each of the four vessels at the end of the arteriole bifurcations. You may need to set up several systems, each with a different system boundary, in order to solve this problem.arrow_forward
