Thank you for the answer. I am still confused, is M not the moment that is causing the acceleration? My initial thought was that one third of M would go towards resisting the M/3 moment, and the other two thirds of M would accelerate the rod. Then the Moment that is actually twisting the rod and...

If a circular rod is allowed to rotate freely and a moment (M) is applied to one end of the rod. A moment acting in the opposite direction, with magnitude (M/3), is applied to the other end of the rod. What is the maximum moment in the rod that would be used to calculate the maximum torsional...
