Question: Question 3 ( 6 . 4 4 ) A circular shaft A E of length 5 a , diameter d , and shear modulus G

Question 3(6.44)
A circular shaft AE of length 5a, diameter d, and shear
modulus G is welded to a support at end A and has a rigid
arm of length b welded to its other end, E. A pointer is
fastened to the shaft at C. When the shaft is unloaded, the
pointer and the rigid arm are both horizontal, as shown in
(a). A weight W is now hung on the end of the rigid arm
and, at the same time, moments MB and MD are applied to
the shaft at points B and D such that the pointer and the
rigid arm remain horizontal, as shown in (b). Find the
values of MB, and MD required to keep the pointer and
rigid arm horizontal when the weight W is hung on the
arm.
