Question: When to use the formula Txy = T r / I and Txy = T r / J ? Like in the following question (

When to use the formula Txy = T r/I and Txy= T r/J? Like in the following question (Example 1) we used Txy = T r /J why?
(Example 1) The shaft shown is made of an aluminum with the following properties:
Yield stress in tension =165Nmm2; Yield stress in compression =179
Nmm2; Ultimate strength =310Nmm2; Elastic modulus=6.9x104
Nmm2; Poisson's ratio =13
Use the factor of 2 with respect to failure by slip to determine the maximum
permissible radius of the shaft as predicted by: (a) The maximum normal
stress theory. (b) the maximum shear stress theory. (c) The maximum
distortion energy theory.
---------
But for the second question (Example 2) we used Txy=T r / I
Why?
Can inhave the soltuopn for both
Example 2-[Example 12.1(Benham& Armstrong)]:
A mild steel shaft of 50mm diameter is subjected to a bending
moment of 1.9 kNm . If the yield point of steel in simple tension
is 200MN/ m2, find the maximum torque that can also be
applied according to:
a) Maximum shear stress theory.
b) Maximum shear strain energy (Von Mises) theory.
