Q2. Consider a circular shaft that is attached to a fixed support at one end as shown in figure. If a torque T is applied to the other end, the shaft will twist, with its free end rotating through an angle phi called the angle of twist. Derive the formula for angle of twist within the elastic range. Clearly explain your steps and state the associated assumptions.
