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. The x axis is taken along the axis of the gears and the y axis is taken along the motor support at A and perpendicular to the x axis.

TC=0.01745 rad+(20,000  N-mm)L1J1G1L1J1G1+L2J2G2

Substitute the shaft properties into the above equation to compute the value for external torque TC.

TC=44,579  N-mm=44.6  N-m
