Diagram shows an aluminum shaft A B with a support at A, marked 1 of length 1,500 millimeters and a brass shaft B C with a support at C, marked 2 of length 1,000 millimeters with a flange in between at B. The shafts are centered on the x axis. A torque T is applied at B.

Before proceeding, section properties for shafts (1) and (2) must be computed.

For hollow shaft (1):

J1=π32D14-d14   =π32(50 mm)4-(40 mm)4   =362,265 mm4

and

c1=50 mm2=25 mm

For solid shaft (2):

J2=π32d24   =π32(50 mm)4   =613,592 mm4

and

c2=50 mm2=25 mm
