A load of P = 17 N is applied to a hex wrench that has lengths a = 44 mm and b = 165 mm. Determine the torque applied to the set screw.

A dump truck axle with a diameter of 1.77 in. and a length of 37 in. failed while transmitting a power of 410 hp and a torque of 7,890 lb-ft. At what speed was the axle spinning when it broke?

A load of P = 10 N is applied to a hex wrench that has lengths a = 22 mm and b = 82 mm. Determine the torque applied to the set screw.

A steel [E = 30,200 ksi, G = 11,700 ksi] socket extension (2) has a diameter of 0.33 in. and a length of L = 2.0 in. It connects socket (3) to ratchet handle (1) which is 4.6 in. long. If a perpendicular force of 6.0 lb is applied to the end of the ratchet handle, determine the maximum shear stress in the socket extension.

A torque of 22 lb·in. is applied to one end of a 5-in.-long composite shaft that consists of two polymer tubes. The outer tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.031 in.4 and a shear modulus of 180 ksi. The inner tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.00451 in.4 and a shear modulus of 160 ksi. Determine the magnitude of the torque produced in the outer tube.

A load of P = 8 N is applied to a hex wrench that has lengths a = 24 mm and b = 85 mm. Determine the torque applied to the set screw.

The same perpendicular force is applied to the handles of three ratchets and creates torque. They have the same modulus of rigidity but different lengths and diameters. Which one will provide the smallest torque?

A torque of 27 lb·in. is applied to one end of a 6-in.-long composite shaft that consists of two polymer tubes. The outer tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.0342 in.4 and a shear modulus of 185 ksi. The inner tube has a polar moment of inertia of 0.00563 in.4 and a shear modulus of 180 ksi. Determine the magnitude of the torque produced in the outer tube.

A dump truck axle with a diameter of 1.60 in. and a length of 36 in. failed while transmitting a power of 530 hp and a torque of 5,430 lb-ft. At what speed was the axle spinning when it broke?

A load of P = 17 N is applied to a hex wrench that has lengths a = 33 mm and b = 119 mm. Determine the torque applied to the set screw.
