Why Is the Force for T1 Doubled in the Torsional Deflection Problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the confusion regarding the force for T1 being doubled in a torsional deflection problem. It is clarified that the 3-inch section is responsible for resisting both loads, while the 2-inch section only resists the outer load. This distinction in load distribution explains why the force for T1 is calculated as 4000 in-lb. The participants confirm the understanding of how the sections interact under load. Overall, the doubling of the force for T1 is attributed to the combined resistance of the 3-inch section.

I am confused as to why the force for T1 in the attached problem is doubled.

T1 = 4000 in-lb

The 3 inch section is resisting both loads.
The 2 inch section is resisting the outer load only.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
