Load P = 19.3 lb is produced at the nylon tip of a Vic Firth American Classic Jazz 8D drumstick as a percussionist strikes a drumhead. The hickory shaft has a diameter of 0.56 in. and a length of L = 10.9 in. from the center of the tip to the percussionist’s hand. Assuming the percussionist’s hand acts like a fixed support and that the shaft has a constant diameter, determine the magnitude of the maximum horizontal shear stress in the shaft.
