QUESTION:
Determine the distance a between the bearings in terms of the shaft’s length L so that the moment in the symmetric shaft is zero at its center.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
The free-body diagram of the shaft is shown as:
Here, and are the reaction at point joint A and B, w is the load acting on the shaft, L is the total length of the shaft, and a is the unsupported length.
