A simple torsion-bar spring is shown. The shear stress in the steel [G-11,500 ksi] shaft is not to exceed 8600 psi, and the vertical deflection of joint D is not to exceed 0.400 in. when a load of P-3300 lb is applied. Neglect the bending of the shaft and assume that the bearing at C allows the shaft to rotate freely. Determine the minimum diameter required for the shaft. Use dimensions of a - 66 in., b-38 in., and c-24 in. b
