[20 points] A solid circular bar is fixed to a wall at x=0 and is loaded by a distributed torque that linearly increases in intensity from 0 at x=0 (point A ) up to a maximum value at x=L (point B ) of t0?=500[N?m/m]. The bar has a length L=2[m], has a diameter of 10[mm], and is made of steel (G=75[GPa]) Determine the reaction torque at A, and the angle of twist at B. Hint: The distributed torque t(x) has units of torque per unit length (i.e. (N?m)/m). As an example of how to think about distributed torques, consider that you would calculate the total torque on the bar through a simple integration: Ttot ?=?0L?t(x)dx and also consider Eq. 10.17. NOTE: You may assume the steel is a HILE material (feel free to comment on the validity of this assumption in your Reflect \& Think step). Ans. TA?=500[N?m],?=1.132[rad].
