Two shafts in series carry the same torque, twisting \( 1.2 \) and \( 0.8 \) degrees. The total twist is

  • A.1.0 degrees
  • B.0.96 degrees
  • C.2.0 degrees
  • D.0.4 degrees

Answer: C

Correct answer: 2.0 degrees

Shafts in series carry the same torque and their twists add, exactly as extensions add for bars in series under the same load: \[ 1.2 + 0.8 = 2.0\ \text{degrees}. \] Shafts in parallel would be the other case, sharing the torque in proportion to their rigidities while twisting through the same angle.
