Diagram shows an aluminum shaft A B with a support at A, marked 1 of length 4,000 millimeters and a brass shaft B C with a support at C, marked 2 of length 3,000 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(80 mm)4-(65 mm)4   =2,268,758 mm4

and

c1=80 mm2=40 mm

For solid shaft (2):

J2=π32d24   =π32(80 mm)4   =4,021,239 mm4

and

c2=80 mm2=40 mm
