Diagram shows a shaft of length 2 meters which is connected to a motor and contains a gear in which a torque T is applied.

The polar moment of inertia J for a hollow pipe or tube shaft is found from:

J=π32(D4-d4)

where D is the outside diameter and d is the inside diameter. For this shaft,

J=π32(75 mm)4-(65 mm)4  =1,353,830.1 mm4
