Question: A rotating step shaft is loaded as shown in the figure below, where the forces F A and F B are constant at 6 0

A rotating step shaft is loaded as shown in the figure below, where the forces FA and FB are constant at 600 lbf and 300 lbf , respectively, and the torque T alternates from 0 to 2000lbf*in. The shaft is to be considered simply supported at points O and C, and is made of AISI 1045 CD steel with a fully corrected endurance limit of Se=40k. Let Kf=2.1 and Kfs=1.7. For a design factor of 2 determine the minimal acceptable diameter of section BC using the
(a) DE-Gerber criterion.
(b) DE-Goodman criterion.
