Twist angle given maximum permissible shear stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Twist = (Maximum Shear Stress*Length of Shaft)/(Radius of Shaft*Modulus of Rigidity)
θ = (τ_max*L_shaft)/(R*G_Torsion)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Maximum Shear Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Maximum Shear Stress is the greatest extent a shear force can be concentrated in a small area.
Length of Shaft - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Shaft is the distance between two ends of shaft.
Radius of Shaft - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Shaft is the line segment extending from the center of a circle or sphere to the circumference or bounding surface.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Shear Stress: 42 Megapascal --> 42000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Length of Shaft: 4.58 Meter --> 4.58 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Shaft: 110 Millimeter --> 0.11 Meter (Check conversion here)
Modulus of Rigidity: 40 Gigapascal --> 40000000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ = (τ_max*L_shaft)/(R*G_Torsion) --> (42000000*4.58)/(0.11*40000000000)

Evaluating ... ...
