Problem 2. Consider a solid circular shaft to which two pulleys are keyed, as shown in Figure 2. In this configuration, pulley A receives power from a motor through a belt, and these forces are relative to the belt tensions shown in Figure 2. The power is transmitted through the shaft and delivered to the belt at pulley B. Assume that at pulley B the belt tension on the loose side ( T_(2)) corresponds to 15% of the tension on the tight side (T_(1)), i.e. T_(2)=0.15T_(1). Based on this information, answer the following questions: (a) Determine the tensions in the belt at pulley B, assuming that the shaft rotates at constant speed; that is, the problem can be treated as being in static equilibrium. (b) Determine the reaction forces of the bearings at points O and C, which in practice can be assumed to act as simple supports. (c) Draw the shear (V) and bending moment (M) diagrams for the shaft.
(d) For the point of maximum bending moment (calculated in (c)), determine the normal stress due to bending and the shear stress due to torsion.
(e) Still at the point of maximum bending moment (calculated in (c)), determine the principal stresses and the maximum shear stress.
