A square tube section has side dimension of 20 in. arid thickness of 0.5 in. If the section is used for a 10-ft-long beam subjected to 1250 kip-in, torque at both ends, calculate the maximum shear stress and the angle of twist between the ends. Use G = 11,600 ksi.

Is the beam safe in deflection for L/360, ( deflDIST = (5 w L4)/(384 E I)? Is the beam safe in shear?
