A solid circular bar of diameter d 1.5 in. is subjected to an axial force P and a torque T (see figure). Strain gages A and B mounted on the surface of the bar give readings εa = 100*10-6 and εb = 55*10-6. The bar is made of steel having E= 30*106 psi and v= 0.29.
(a) Determine the axial force P and the torque T.
(b) Determine the maximum shear strain gmax and the maximum shear stress tmax in the bar
