A solid and hollow shaft, connected by a coupling, transmit power. The outside diameters of the shafts are the same and the inside diameter of the hollow shaft is 75% of its outside diameter. The solid shaft is three times as long as the hollow shaft. Take the modulus of rigidity for both shafts as 80 GPa. (a) If the angle of twist for the solid shaft is 1 degree, find the angle of twist for the hollow shaft. (b) If the maximum shear stress for the solid shaft is 30 MPa, find the maximum stress in the hollow shaft.
