Question: ( 6 pts ) A continuous circular rigid shaft ABCDE is supported with three journal bearings at A , B and D at the orientation

(6 pts) A continuous circular rigid shaft ABCDE is supported with three journal bearings at A,B and D at the orientation shown in the figure below. The shaft is subjected to two point-force at E in the x and y directions, PEx=100N and PEy=80N, and a triangle distributed force along DC in the negative z direction with the highest load magnitude of wuz=20Nm. Ignore the size of the journal bearings and diameter of the shaft in your calculations.
a. Draw the freebody diagram of the shaft showing the applied forces and reactions
b. Calculate the reactions at the journal bearings A,B, and D.(Should be Ay, Az, By, Bz, Dx, Dz)
Note: section ABC is along the x axis, section DC is parallel to y axis and section DE is parallel to the z axis.
