A dump truck axle with a diameter of 1.681 in. and a length of 37.9 in. failed when the shear stress reached 87 ksi on the outer surface. The shear modulus of the steel is G = 11,900 ksi. Assuming the shaft did not yield prior to failure, determine the angle of twist of the axle when it failed.

The solid circular steel shaft of a screwdriver is subjected to torque T. The shaft has a diameter of 0.527 in. and a length of L = 4.25 in. For a factor of safety of 2.0 and a shearing yield strength of 19 ksi, determine the maximum torque T that can be applied to the shaft.
