A 9-in solid shaft has the same cross-sectional area as the hollow shaft of the same material with an inside diameter of 5 ¾-in. Find (a) the ratio of the power transmitted by both shafts if it runs at the same angular velocity and (b) the ratio of the angle of twist in equal length if both shafts are stressed at the same intensity.
