PROBLEM 6
An 8 - ft -long steel member with a W8\times 31 cross section is subjected to a 5 -kip * in. torque.
The properties of the rolled-steel section are given in Appendix C. Knowing that G=
11.2\times 10^(6)\psi , determine (a) the maximum shearing stress along line a-a,(b) the maximum
shearing stress along line b-b, (c) the angle of twist. (See hint of Prob. 3.137.)
SOLUTION
(a) \tau _(f)=4.55ksi
(b) ,\tau _(w)=2.98ksi
(c)
\phi =2.56\deg
