    How it is TR =(100×10^3×15)

    Given: Torque acting on hollow shaft: 100 Nm = 100 x 103 N / mm , outer diameter of shaft = 30 mm, inner diameter of shaft = 15 mm

    Formula: 1) Shear stress (τ) = TR / J

    here, T is the torque acting on shaft, J is the polar moment of inertia, R is the radius of shaft

    2) Polar moment of inertia (J) = π (D4 - d4) / 32

    Solution:

    1) Polar moment of inertia (J) = π (D4 - d4) / 32

    = π (304 - 154) / 32

    = 74551.466 mm4

    2) Shear stress (τ) = TR / J

    = (100 x 103 x 15 ) / 74551.466

    = 20.120 N/mm2

    shear stress acting on the outer surface of a hollow shaft subjected to a torque of 100 Nm is 20.120 N/mm2
