5–15. The solid shaft is made of material that has an 15 N⭈m

allowable shear stress of tallow = 10 MPa. Determine the 25 N⭈m
required diameter of the shaft to the nearest mm. A
30 N⭈m
B 60 N⭈m
C 70 N⭈m

The internal torques developed in each segment of the shaft are shown in the torque
diagram, Fig. a.

Segment DE is critical since it is subjected to the greatest internal torque. The polar
