A long, thin-walled tapered tube AB of circular cross section (see figure) is subjected to a torque

Question:

A long, thin-walled tapered tube AB of circular cross section (see figure) is subjected to a torque T. The tube has length L and constant wall thickness t. The diameter to the median lines of the cross sections at the ends A and B are dA and dB, respectively.
Derive the following formula for the angle of twist of the tube:
A long, thin-walled tapered tube AB of circular cross section

If the angle of taper is small, we may obtain approximate results by applying the formulas for a thin-walled prismatic tube to a differential element of the tapered tube and then integrating along the axis of the tube.
