A 4-m-long steel member has a W310 x 60 cross section.

Chapter 3, Problem 3.137

(choose chapter or problem)

A 4-m-long steel member has a W310 X 60 cross section. Knowing that G = 77.2 GPa and that the allowable shearing stress is 40 MPa, determine (a) the largest torque T that can be applied, (b) the corresponding angle of twist. Refer to Appendix C for the dimensions of the cross section and neglect the effect of stress concentrations. (Hint: consider the web and flanges separately and obtain a relation between the torques exerted on the web and a flange, respectively, by expressing that the resulting angles of twist are equal.)
