Shaft is said to be more strong if it resist moment and tmax is not the parameter to be used for it.

Tmax is used to compared material property and here we are calculating section strength, so maximum moment of resistant should be compared and answer for it will be 16/15.

What is diameter of sun and internal and external heat?

AMIT PANDIT said:   10 years ago
For outer diameter (odd) moment of inertia = d^4.

Inner diameter, moment of inertia = (d/2)^4 = (d^4)/16.

For hollow shaft = d^4-(d^4)/16.

= (15/16)d^4.

So, the ratio of hollow shaft is 15/16.

A hollow steel shaft of 300 mm external diameter and 200 mm internal diameter has to be replaced by a solid steel shaft of 300 mm external diameter and 200 mm internal diameter has to be replaced by a solid steel shaft of?

Give me the answer.

If Solid and Hollow shaft are of the same material and same weight, then Hollow shaft has more strength.

But when outer diameter is same (weight will not be same) then Solid shaft has more strength, so here ratio of the strength of solid and Hollow shaft should be more than 1 as outer diameter same.

It's true, ultimately the ratio of Tmax (Solid) / Tmax (Hollow) = D^4/(D^4-d^4).
Let D=20 mm & d=10mm, then D^4=160000 mm^4 & d^4=10000 mm^4.
Therefore, D^4/(D^4-d^4) = 16/15.

Yeah, the answer must be 16/15.

Here, the answer must be 16/15.

Zp= π/32(d^4).
So,
Zp(s)/Zp(h)=[π/32d^4]/[π/32*(15d^4)/16],
=16/15.

@Bhagchand.

Yes, you are right.

The answer is 16/15.
