The ship at A has just started to drill for oil on the ocean floor at a depth of 5000 ft. The steel drill pipe has an outer diameter of 8 in. and a uniform wall thickness of 0.5 in. Knowing that the top of the drill pipe rotates through two complete revolutions before the drill bit at B starts to operate and using G = 11.2 X 106 psi, determine the maximum strain energy acquired by the drill pipe.
