Diagram shows a shaft A B with aluminum segment marked 1 of length 400 millimeters inside which is a brass shaft marked 2. Both the shafts are centered on the central axis x. A torque T is applied at B.

Substitute these values

T1=1,003.8 N-mT2=1,076.0 N-m

into the equilibrium equation

T=T1-T2

to determine the external torque that can be applied to the composite shaft.

T=T1+T2  =1,003.8 N-m + 1,076.0 N-m  =2,079.8 N-m
