The exact expression is given in Prob. 3.64 for the angle

Chapter 3, Problem 3.C5

(choose chapter or problem)

The exact expression is given in Prob. 3.64 for the angle of twist of the solid tapered shaft AB when a torque T is applied as shown. Derive an approximate expression for the angle of twist by replacing the tapered shaft by n cylindrical shafts of equal length and of radius \(r_{i}=\left(n+i-\frac{1}{2}\right)) \((c / n)\), where \(i=1,2, \ldots, n\). Using for T, L, G, and c values of your choice, determine the percentage error in the approximate expression when (a) n = 4, (b) n = 8, (c) n = 20, and (d) n = 100.
