PRACTIAL TASK 4

EXPERIMENT : TORSION OF SHAFT

1. INTRODUCTION :
2. OBJECTIVES OF EXPERIMENT :
 To determine the relationship between applied torque and the angle of twist.
 To determine the modulus of rigidity of a shaft.

3. EQUIPMENT/APPARATUS :
 Torsion Tester Apparatus
 Vernier Caliper

4. THEORY :
From the torsion theory the relationship between torque, section property, length,
material property and angle of twist is given by

τ Gθ T
= = Eqn. 3.1
R L J
Where T = Torque R = radius of shaft
L = length of shaft J = second moment of area of shaft
G = modulus of rigidity of shaft τ = shear stress at radius R
θ = angle of twist

From the above equation,

Gθ T
= Eqn. 3.2
L J
or

GJ
T= xθ Eqn. 3.3
L
Since G, J and L are constant for a particular experiment, therefore Eqn. 3.1 can be
written as follows;

T= Constant x θ Eqn. 3.4


By plotting the graph of torque versus the angle of twist, the value of the constant can be
determined from the slop of graph.
