Mechanics and Structural Analysis

  1. The maximum shear stress in a solid shaft of circular cross-section having diameter subjected to a torque T is t. If the torque is increased by four times and the diameter of the shaft is increased by two times, the maximum shear stress in the shaft will be
    1. 2t
    2. t
    3. t/2
    4. t/4
