Prof. Snyder

Solve the following problems from the textbook by R.C. Hibbeler, 3rd and 4th Editions:
Problems: 10–1, 10–37, 10–56, 11–2, 11–6, 11–13, 11–19, 11–51, 11–70
Label values on all shear and moment diagrams.

10-1 A shaft is made of a steel alloy having an allowable shear stress of allow = 12 ksi. If the
diameter of the shaft is 1.5 in., determine the maximum torque T that can be transmitted.
What would be the maximum torque T' if a 1-in.-diameter hole is bored through the
shaft? Sketch the shear-stress distribution along a radial line in each case.

10-37 The splined ends and gears attached to the A-36 steel shaft are subjected to the torques
shown. Determine the angle of twist of end B with respect to end A. The shaft has a
diameter of 40 mm.

10-56. The shaft is made of A-36 steel and has a diameter

of 80 mm. It is fixed at B and the support at A has a
torsional stiffness of k = 0.5 MN·m/rad. If it is
subjected to the gear torques shown, determine the
absolute maximum shear stress in the shaft.

supported by a smooth place at A which
slides within the groove and so it cannot
support a vertical force, although it can
support a moment and axial load.

rectangle of 8" wide by 10.6" tall, minus
two rectangles each 10" tall and
together 7.7" wide. All these have their
medians on the neutral axis, by
symmetry. Same technique as 11-42.
