Shaft length for given Polar MOI, Twisting Moment, Modulus of rigidity, and Twist angle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Shaft = (Modulus of Rigidity*(Angle of Twist)*Polar Moment of Inertia)/Torque
L_shaft = (G_Torsion*(θ)*J)/T
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Shaft - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Shaft is the distance between two ends of shaft.
Modulus of Rigidity - (Measured in Pascal) - Modulus of Rigidity is the measure of the rigidity of the body, given by the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. It is often denoted by G.
Angle of Twist - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of twist is the angle through which the fixed end of a shaft rotates with respect to the free end.
Polar Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Meter⁴) - Polar Moment of Inertia is the moment of inertia of a cross-section with respect to its polar axis, which is an axis at right angles to the plane of the cross-section.
Torque - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Modulus of Rigidity: 40 Gigapascal --> 40000000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Angle of Twist: 1.42 Radian --> 1.42 Radian No Conversion Required
Polar Moment of Inertia: 0.0041 Meter⁴ --> 0.0041 Meter⁴ No Conversion Required
Torque: 28 Kilonewton Meter --> 28000 Newton Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_shaft = (G_Torsion*(θ)*J)/T --> (40000000000*(1.42)*0.0041)/28000

Evaluating ... ...
