For the mesh shown below set up and solve the torsion
problem for the circle. Compare your results for the maximum shear stress and
the total torque T with the exact solution. Assume nodes 2 is midway between
nodes 1 and 4 and that node 3 is midway between nodes 1 and 5.

Should the answers depend upon the angle Θ?
What boundary conditions should be used on the radial lines of the model? Check
to see how well these boundary conditions are satisfied.
