Determine the minimum diameter that can be used for a solid circular steel shaft  which is  limited to an allowable shear stress of  70 MPa and a maximum angle of twist of 1.5o (degrees) per meter length.  Applied maximum torque is 25 KN-m and the overall shaft length is 1.25 meters. Shear modulus = G= 80 GPa      Note: When using torsion stress formulas, you must convert the angle of twist from degrees  to radians.
