Estimate torsional load at which the cylinder will fail


A glass cylinder has outer radius of 20.0 mm and inner radius of 14.0 mm. Glass is a brittle material that fails in tension at 20 MPa. Estimate the torsional load at which the cylinder will fail. Draw a differential element in cylindrical coordinates and indicate the plane on which the failure would initiate.
