A simple torsion-bar spring is shown. The shear stress in the steel [G-11,500 ksi] shaft is not to exceed 11400 psi, and the vertical deflection of joint D is not to exceed 0.550 in. when a load of P-2800 lb is applied. Neglect the bending of the shaft and assume that the bearing at Callows the shaft to rotate freely. Determine the minimum diameter required for the shaft. Use dimensions of a - 68 in., b - 28 in., and c-30 in. D Answer: d= in.
