Question
A steel shaft 'A' of diameter 'd' and length 'l' is subjected to a torque T Another
shaft 'B' made of aluminium of the same diameter 'd' and length 0.51 is also
subjected to the same torque "T'. The shear modulus of steel is 2.5 times the
shear modulus of aluminium. The shear stress in the steel shaft is 100 MPa. The
shear stress in the aluminium shaft, in MPa, is:
(b) 50
(a) 40
(c) 100
(d) 250
