Two shafts, one of steel and the other of phosphor bronze, are of the same length and are subjected to equal torques. If the steel shaft is 25 mm diameter, find the diameter of the phosphor-bronze shaft so that it will store the same amount of strain energy as the steel shaft. Also determine the ratio of the maximum shear stresses induced in the two shafts. Take the modulus of rigidity for phosphor bronze as 50 GN/m² and for steel as 80 GN/m².

Question
Two shafts, one of steel and the other of phosphor bronze, are of the same length and are subjected to
equal torques. If the steel shaft is 25 mm diameter, find the diameter of the phosphor-bronze shaft so that it
will store the same amount of strain energy as the steel shaft. Also determine the ratio of the maximum stear
stresses induced in the two shafts. Take the modulus of rigidity for phosphor bronze as 50 GN/m² and for steel
as 80 GN/m².
