A compound shaft drives three gears, as shown. Segments (1) and (2) of the compound shaft are hollow bronze [G = 6,500 ksi] tubes, which have an outside diameter of 1.55 in. and a wall thickness of 0.1975 in. Segments (3) and (4) are solid 1.10-in.-diameter steel [G = 11,500 ksi] shafts. The shaft lengths are L1 = 78 in., L2 = 8 in., L3 = 25 in., and L4 = 25 in. The torques applied to the shafts have magnitudes of TB = 940 lb·ft, TD = 500 lb·ft, and TE = 100 lb·ft, acting in the directions shown. The bearings shown allow the shaft to turn freely. Using the sign convention presented in Section 6.6., calculate: (a) the magnitude of the maximum shear stress in the compound shaft. (b) the rotation angle of flange C with respect to flange A. (c) the rotation angle of gear E with respect to flange A.
