Question

Which of the following conditions is INCORRECT for the shafts connected in series to each other?

• A. θ = θ1 + θ2
• B. T = T1 + T2
• C. θ1 = θ2
• D. Both T = T1 + T2 and θ1 = θ2

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Both T = T1 + T2 and θ1 = θ2

Shafts in series carry the same torque T and the total angle of twist at the resisting end is the sum of separate angles of twist of two shafts. $T_{1} = T_{2}$ $\theta = \theta_{1} + \theta_{2}$
