A stepped steel shaft (G 5 75 GPa) with diameters d1 5 36 mm and d2 5 32 mm is twisted by torques T at each end. Segment lengths are L1 5 0.9 m and L2 5 0.75 m. If the allowable shear stress is 28 MPa and maximum allowable twist is 1.8°, the maximum permissible torque is approximately:

(A) 142 N?m

(B) 180 N?m

(C) 185 N?m

(D) 257 N?m


(B) 180 N?m

If sunlight broke up water molecules in Venus's atmosphere, would the hydrogen atoms es-cape into outer space? Note that Venus's temperature is 740 K. Recall that gas eventually will escape if the average velocity of its atoms is greater than 1/6 times the escape velocity of the planet. The escape velocity of Venus is 10 km/s.

a. No, the average velocity of hydrogen atoms would be 0.8 km/s. b. No, the average velocity of hydrogen atoms would be 3.9 km/s. c. Yes, the average velocity of hydrogen atoms would be 3.9 km/s. d. Yes, the average velocity of hydrogen atoms would be 25 km/s. e. No, the average velocity of hydrogen atoms would be 25 km/s.
