The solid steel rod (1) has an allowable shear stress of 12 ksi. The brass tube (2) has an allowable shear stress of 5 ksi. The diameter of the rod is d1 = 0.625 in. The outside diameter of the tube is D2 = 1.625 in., and its wall thickness is t2 = 0.125 in. 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 B. Determine the largest torque Tmax that can be applied at the upper end of the steel rod.
