In the previous question you calculated a belt load for running and static cases. Given that the shaft length is 1 meter, calculate the reaction forces on the bearing near the pulley (bearing 1) and the bearing at the far end of the shaft (bearing 2). For this question you will upload a hand-drawn solution, including free-body diagrams and calculations, for the reaction forces for bearings 1&2 for the static and running cases. Some hints: 1. This solution will require you to draw known forces and find unknown reactions in 2 perpendicular planes and then add the horizontal and vertical reaction forces as vectors to find the reaction force (hypotenuse). 2. Bearings are usually mounted as near as possible to the ends of the shaft without fouling the other machine elements. The bearing at the far shaft end can be mounted at the 1 meter point. The bearing at the pulley end should allow clearance to assemble the pulley. 3. Bearing reaction forces are typically simplified as a single point load through the bearing centre.
