Question

A shaft of 2m length, 30 mm radius, with a wall thickness of 5 mm has a torque applied of 450 N. If the material has a G value of 275 GPa, what is the angular deflection in radians and degrees?

Hint, you need to calculate the J value, T x l/J x G = deflection, and then convert to degrees.
