mm. It is subjected to a torque of 3 kN-m at its free end. What is the resulting angle of
twist of the bar? Use shear modulus of elasticity of 78,000 Mpa.
Requirement:
1. Find the torsional rigidity
2. Find the torsional stiffness of the post.
3. Determine the maximum shear stress in the post if it is subjected to 540 N-m.
Requirement:
1. Find the reaction at the rigid support
2. Which of the following gives the maximum torsional stress in the shaft.
3. Compute the angle of twist in the shaft.

A steel rod with a cross-sectional area of 0.25 𝑖𝑛2 is stretched between two fixed points. The tensile load at
70°F is 1200 lb.
Steel railroad reels 10 m long are laid with a clearance of 3 mm at a temperature of 15°C.
A bronze bar 3 m long with a cross sectional area of 320 𝑚𝑚2 is placed between two rigid walls as shown in fig. At a
temperature of -20°C, the gap Δ = 2.5 mm.
Find the temperature at which the compressive stress in the bar will be 35 MPa.
