PROBLEM 3.137 A 4-m-long steel member has a W310 ? 60 cross section. Knowing that and that the allowable shearing stress is 40 MPa, determine (a) the largest torque T that can be applied, (b) the corresponding angle of twist. Refer to Appendix C for the dimensions of the cross section and neglect the effect of stress concentrations. (Hint: consider the web and flanges separately and obtain a relation between the torques exerted on the web and a flange, respectively, by expressing that the resulting angles of twist are equal.)
