Stresses Due to Torsion Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Torque = Maximum shear stress*Polar modulus
T = 𝜏_max*Z_p
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Torque - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.
Maximum shear stress - (Measured in Newton per Square Millimeter) - Maximum shear stress that acts coplanar with cross section of material, arises due to shear forces.
Polar modulus - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Polar modulus is defined as the ratio of the polar moment of inertia to the radius of the shaft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum shear stress: 0.03 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 0.03 Newton per Square Millimeter No Conversion Required
Polar modulus: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T = 𝜏_max*Z_p --> 0.03*9

Evaluating ... ...

T = 0.27

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.27 Newton Meter -->270 Newton Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

270 Newton Millimeter <-- Torque
