A 1-in, constant diameter shaft is loaded with forces at A and B as shown, with ground reaction forces at $$\mathrm{O}$$ and $$\mathrm{C}$$. The shaft also transmits a torque of $$1500\mathrm{lbf}?$$ in throughout the length of the shaft. The shaft has a tensile yield strength of $$120\mathrm{kpsi}$$. a. Determine the minimum static factor of safety using the maximum-shear-stress failure theory. b. Determine the minimum static factor of safety using the distortion-energy failure theory Ans. The minimum factor of safety is The minimum factor of safety is
