Question

The steel shaft has a diameter of 2 in. It is supported on smooth journal bearings A and B, which exert only vertical reactions on the shaft. Determine the absolute maximum bending stress in the shaft if it is subjected to the pulley loadings shown.

Solution

Step 1 of 3

The free body diagram of the shaft is shown below,

Applying force balance in vertical direction,

                                                           

Since the given beam is symmetric about the point D, therefore the reaction force at A and B will be half of the total vertical force.

The reaction force at A and B will be,
