By using the torque, the shear stress is 2.36 lb/ft².
We need to know about torque to solve this problem. Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force. It can be determined as
τ = F x r
where τ is torque, F is perpendicular force and r is radius.
Shear stress can be calculated by torque
P = F / A
P = τ / (π.r³)
where P is shear stress, r is the radius.
From the question above, the parameter given are
τ = 200 ft.lb
d = 6 ft
Find the radius
r = 1/2 . d
r = 3 ft
Find the shear stress
P = τ / (π.r³)
P = 200 / (π.3³)
P = 2.36 lb/ft²
