As shown in figure 2 shafts are in series.

So their torques are equal, by equating torques of shafts AB and BC,
TAB= TBC.
Since, T/J= Gθ/L.
θ1 J1 = θ2 J2 .( Since G, T and L are same for both shafts).

θ1/θ2 = J2/J1 = π(D/2)^4/π(D)^4 = 1/16 and θ1=0.1 radian.
Therefore, θBC = θ2=0.1 * 16 = 1.6 radian.

@Karthik here is detailed answer

Acc to torsional equations:

The Polar moment is inversely proportional to the twisting angle.

That is
J =1\θ

Now J = π D^4/32
Therefore D^4 =1/θ
θ 1/θ2= D2^4/D1^4.

By putting values you will get the answer.

Can anyone explain it?

Karthik said:   7 years ago
Anybody explain this in step by step. I don't understand this problem.

From the Tortion equation we have T/J = G * (&theta)/length.

In the question, they have mentioned T, I and G are constant.
By equating the torques we can get answer as 1.6.

How could you say that 'Theta' is directly proportional to the polar moment of inertia? The relation between them is inversely proportional. So please give correct explanation.

I don't understand please explain as 1.6.

It should be like this :

c1/l1 = c2/l2.

t/ip*theta 1-t*ip*theta 2.

On putting values theta 2 comes out to be 1.6.

Theta 1*J1 = Theta 2*J2.

Theta 1 = 0.1.

J1 = pi*d^4 /32.

J2 = pi*d^4 /32*16.

=> Theta 2 = 1.6.

Theta is inversely proportional to D^4

But 1.6 is coming out to be relative to A not B.

Answer should be 1.6-0.1 = 1.5
