Answer:
The shear stress will be 80 MPa
Explanation:
Here we have;
τ = (T·r)/J
For rectangular tube, we have;
Average shear stress given as follows;
Where;
= 100 mm × 200 mm = 20000 mm² = 0.02 m²
t = Thickness of the shaft in question = 2 mm = 0.002 m
T = Applied torque
Therefore, 50 MPa = T/(2×0.002×0.02)
T = 50 MPa × 0.00008 m³ = 4000 N·m
Where the dimension is 50 mm × 250 mm, which is 0.05 m × 0.25 m
Therefore, = 0.05 m × 0.25 m = 0.0125 m².
Therefore, from the following average shear stress formula, we have;
Plugging in then values, gives;
The shear stress will be 80,000,000 Pa or 80 MPa.
