i am having problems solving two solid mechanics problems... can anyone please help??? the problems are:

 

Question 4:

A 2380 Nm torque is applied to gear D due to input torque from the motor at A, as shown in figure 4. Shafts 1 and 2 are both solid steel, 44 mm in diameter and 600 mm long. Gear B has a diameter of 250 mm and gear C has a diameter of 350 mm. The shear modulus G for steel is 80GN/m^2

 

Find out:

(a)    the maximum stress in shaft 2
