Question

FORMULAS Emax = VƒEƒ + (1 - V₁) Em 1 = CX gel [r+rs(f-2)]¹/2/nQ3 A mass of 10 kg is suspended from the ceiling on a steel wire of 1 mm

diameter and 2 m length. The mass is now rotated through an angle causing the wire to twist. (a) Determine the shear stress Try in the wire as a function of the angle of twist 0. You may assume that the steel has a shear modulus G = 80 GPa. (6 marks) (b) Estimate the maximum value of 0 if there is to be no plastic deformation. The steel has a yield stress of 300 MPa and you may assume von Mises theory of yielding. (14 marks)
