The figure shows a cutaway view of an assembly in which a solid bronze [G= 6,500 ksi] rod (1) is fitted inside of an aluminum alloy [G = 4,000 ksi] tube (2). The tube is attached to a fixed plate at C, and both the rod and the tube are welded to a rigid end plate at A. The rod diameter is d₁ = 1.65 in. The outside diameter of the tube is D₂ = 2.7 in. and its wall thickness is t₂ = 0.130 in. Overall dimensions of the assembly are a = 49 in. and b = 11 in. The allowable shear stresses for the bronze and aluminum materials are 10500 psi and 7800 psi, respectively. Further, the rotation angle of end B must be limited to a magnitude of 5.6°. Based on these constraints, what is the maximum torque Tg that can be applied at end B? Fixed End plate plate d₁ TB Rod (1) D₂ A Tube (2) B
