Diagram shows a shaft A B C containing two gears at B and C which is connected to a motor A where the torques of 20 Newton meter and T subscript c is applied on B and C and the distance A B is 1400 millimeter and B C is 1000 millimeter. A positive internal torque T subscript 2 acts on A B towards A. A positive internal torque T subscript 2 acts on C.

The relationship between internal torque T in a shaft and its angle of twist ϕ is given by:

ϕ=TLJG

Therefore, the torque-twist relationships for shafts (1) and (2) can be expressed as:

ϕ1=T1L1J1G1   and   ϕ2=T2L2J2G2
