Diagram shows a shaft with brass segment A B of length 1800 millimeters which is connected to aluminum segment B C of length 800 millimeter using a flange at B and a torque T of 50 Newton meter is applied on C. The x axis is taken along the axis of the cylinders and the y axis is taken along the rigid support at A and perpendicular to the x axis. A positive internal torque T subscript 1 acts on A B towards A.

Note: Assume a positive internal torque.

The polar moment of inertia of the solid brass rod must be computed in order to calculate the angle of twist in segment (1):

J1=π32(32 mm)4=102,944 mm4
