Question:

A vertical force F acts on the crankshaft. Determine the horizontal equilibrium force P that must be applied to the handle and the x, y, z components of force at the smooth journal bearing A and the thrust bearing B. The bearings are properly aligned and exert the force reactions on the shaft.

Given:

F = 80 lb

a = 10 in

b = 14 in

c = 14 in

d = 8 in

e = 6 in

f = 4 in

B. B.
