A vertical shaft is subjected to an input moment couple of magnitude 40 N.m, and mounted to a thrust bearing at A. A thrust bearing limits axial movement. The cable BC is used to restrain the rotation of the arm OB which is positioned at an angle of 60 measured from the y-axis. OB is in plane (x-y). OB-160mm, OA=110mm. a) Draw the free body diagram of the system. b) Express the tension force in cable BC, and the reaction force at 4, in vector components. c) Compute the reactions of the thrust bearing at A, as well as the magnitude of the tension force in cable BC. 110 mm 40 N.m 180 mm 160 mm B 200 mm 60 A vertical shaft is subjected to an input moment couple of magnitude 40 N.m, and mounted to a thrust bearing at A.
