Q.  
A solid circular shaft of 60 mm diameter transmits a torque of 1600 Nm. The value of maximum shear stress develop is


Answer & Explanation

Given:
Torque= T = 1600 Nm
Diameter = D= 60mm = 0.06m
Thus,
The maximum shear stress is,
=16T/(πD³)
=(16 *1600)/(π*0.06³)
=37.72 Mpa

Thus correct option is: A.
