Why hollow shaft can transmit more torque than solid shaft?
Can you explain how the diameter of the shaft affects torque transmission?
Sure! The diameter of a shaft is directly proportional to its torque transmission capacity. In other words, the larger the diameter of a shaft, the more torque it can transmit. This is because a larger diameter shaft has a greater cross-sectional area, which allows it to resist torsion more effectively.
