Horizontal and vertical forces act on the pillow-block bearing as it supports a rotating shaft (Figure P4.29).

Question:

Horizontal and vertical forces act on the pillow-block bearing as it supports a rotating shaft (Figure P4.29). Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its angle relative to horizontal. Is the resultant force on the bearing a thrust or radial force?
