A composite shaft is made by slipping a bronze tube of 3-in. outer diameter
an -in. inner diameter over a solid steel shaft of the same length and 2-in.-diameter. The two components are then fastened rigidly together at their ends. What is the largest torque that can be carried by the composite shaft if the working shear stresses are 8 ksi for bronze and 12 ksi for the steel? For bronze, G = 6 x 106 psi, and for steel, G = 12 x 106 psi
