3. What are the failure modes of ductile and brittle materials when
they are subjected to pure shear?
4. Steel shaft of 100 mm diameter and 0.6 m long, transmits a mechanical power
P of 74 kW at a rotational speed n of 150 rpm. Calculate the transmitted
torque in Nm, the maximum shear stress and the shear stress at a point located
at 30 mm radius in MPa. Also calculate the maximum twisting angle ꝋmax
that induced in the whole shaft. The modulus of rigidity G for the steel from
which the shaft is made is 80 GPa.

F. Shear stress on a solid bar and hollow bar is same for given dimension.
I. True
II. False
G. In which of the following the angle of twist increases fast for a small amount
of torque?
1) Cold working condition
2) Hot working condition
3) Warm working condition
4) The increase is the same for cold working, hot working, and warm working.
H. A shaft is said to be in pure torsion if.
1) Turning moment is applied at one end and other end is free.
2) Turning force is applied at one end and other end is free.
3) Two opposite turning moments are applied to the shaft.
4) Combination of torsional load and bending load is applied to the shaft.
