The shaft assembly is supported by two smooth journal bearings A and B and a short link DC. If a couple moment is applied to the shaft as shown, determine the components of force reaction at the bearings and the force in the link. The link lies in a plane parallel to the y-z plane and the bearings are properly aligned on the shaft.

Units Used:

kN = 103 N

Given:

M = 250 N ∙ m

a = 400 mm

b = 300 mm

c = 250 mm

d = 120 mm

θ = 30 deg

φ = 20 deg
