A shaft assembly is used to support an input

moment Minput as shown. It is held by a jour-
nal bearing at A, a thrust bearing at B, and a
cable attached at C. If Minput = 100 N m, de-
termine the loads acting on the shaft assembly
at the bearings and at C when the shaft is in
equilibrium. The cable lies in a plane parallel
to the xz plane, and the bearings are properly
aligned on the shaft.

Consider the diagram of a glider in the fig-
ure on the right. The aerodynamic lift of
the wing is√described by the distributed load
w = −300 1 − 0.04x2 N/m. The mass of the
wing is 27 kg, and its center of mass is located
2 m from the wing root R. Determine
• the magnitudes of the force and the mo-
ment about R exerted by the lift of the
wing.
• the reactions on the wing at R.
