3) A 20-mm-diameter solid steel shaft is to be used as a torsion spring. If the torsional stress in the shaft is not to exceed 110MPa when one end is twisted through an angle of 15?, a) what must be the length of the solid shaft? Jsolid ?=1.57×10?8m4. b) if the solid shaft is replaced by a tube of the same weight and an outer diameter of 40mm, what is the maximum torque that can be obtained from the tube, provided that the maximum torsional shear stress in the tube cannot exceed 110MPa ? Assume the shear modulus, G, is 79.3×109Pa. (30 points)
