7. A composite shaft consists of a steel rod 10 cm diameter surrounded by a closely fitting
tube of brass fixed to it. Find the outside diameter of the tube so that when a torque is
applied to the composite shaft it will be shared equally by the two materials and G for
Steel = 80 GPA, G for brass = 40GPA. If the torque is 20 KN-m, calculate the maximum
