Zp(solid)/Zp(hollow) = (pi*D^3/16)/(pi*(D^4-(D/2)^4)/16D) = 16/15.

For a hollow shaft whose external diameter is d and internal diameter is d/2, then what will be the polar modulus?

The strength of a solid shaft in torsion is given by,

T(solid shaft) = (pi/16)*(max stres)*(D^3).

T(hollow shaft) = (pi/16)*(max stres)*(D^4-d^4)/D.

On solving we get 15/16.

What is diameter of sun and internal and external heat?

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.

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.

Krishnavn said:   8 years ago
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.
