Twist angle given Shaft length and modulus of rigidity Formula Elements

Variables
Angle of Twist
Angle of twist is the angle through which the fixed end of a shaft rotates with respect to the free end.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Torque
Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TorqueUnit: kN*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length of Shaft
Length of Shaft is the distance between two ends of shaft.
Symbol: Lshaft
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Polar Moment of Inertia
Polar Moment of Inertia is the moment of inertia of a cross-section with respect to its polar axis, which is an axis at right angles to the plane of the cross-section.
Symbol: J
Measurement: Second Moment of AreaUnit: m⁴
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Rigidity
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.
Symbol: GTorsion
