The diameter of the shaft must be uniform throughout and there are two further design requirements : - the angle of twist between A and C must not exceed 1.5o; - the maximum permissible shaft shear stress is (MAX = 60 MPa. Determine the minimum shaft diameter that may be used, G = 77 GPa. (16 marks)
