from The Torsion Equation we have,
T/J=GO/L=Fs/R here consider only GO/L= Fs/R,
From the data we have theta = 1, l = 120cm, toue = 1000kg/cm^2 and G = 0.8 X 10^6,
0.8 x 10^6 x 1/120 = 1000/R then Radius of shaft R = 27/3.142(Phi).

r/R = G * angle &teeta;/L.
120/R = (0.8*10^5*1*π)/(1*10^3*180).
21.6 * 10^6 = 80*10^3*R*π.
R = 270/π.

Use formula t / r = T / J = G0/L.

0 angle in radian.
