Diagram shows an aluminum shaft A B with a support at A, marked 1 of length 2,000 millimeters and a brass shaft B C with a support at C, marked 2 of length 800 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=π32(D14-d14)
=π32[(75 mm)4-(55 mm)4]
=2,207,951 mm4

and

c1=75 mm2=37.5 mm

For hollow shaft (2):

J2=π32d24
=π32(75 mm)4
=3,106,311 mm4

and

c2=75 mm2=37.5
