The end gear connected to the shaft is subjected to the loading shown. If the bearings at \(A\) and \(B\) exert only \(y\) and \(z\) components of force on the shaft, determine the equilibrium torque \(T\) at gear \(C\) and then determine the smallest diameter of the shaft to the nearest millimeter that will support the loading. Use the maximum distortion energy theory of failure with \(\sigma_{\text {allow }}=80 \mathrm{MPa}\).
