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 when one end is twisted through an angle of , a) what must be the length of the solid shaft? . b) if the solid shaft is replaced by a tube of the same weight and an outer diameter of , what is the maximum torque that can be obtained from the tube, provided that the maximum torsional shear stress in the tube cannot exceed ? Assume the shear modulus, , is . (30 points)
