Combined Normal and Shear Stresses A television antenna is mounted on a hollow aluminum tube as sketched in Figure During installation, a force of 20 lb is applied to the end of the antenna as shown. Calculate the torsional shear stress in the tube and the stress due to bending. Consider the tube to be simply supported against bending at the clamps, but assume that rotation is not permitted. If the tube is made of 6061-T6 aluminum, would it be safe under this load? The tube has an outside diameter of 1.50 in and a wall thickness of yg in.
