Hollow Shaafts are stiffer than solid shafts of same materail because the polar moment of inertia of a hollow section can be much larger than the solid section of same area.
Polar Moment:-The polar moment of inertia is used to calculate the angular displacement of an object subjected to a torque. It can be defined as a quantity that predicts an object''s ability to resist torsion, in objects with an invariant circular cross section and no significant warping or out-of-plane deformation.
