Two designs for a shaft are being considered. Both have an outside diameter of 70 m and are 900 mm long. One is solid but the other is hollow with an internal diameter of 50 mm. Both are made from steel (G=120 GPa). Compare the torsional shear stress, angle of twist of the two designs if they are subjected to a torque of 722 N. m.
