A 45-mm-diameter solid steel shaft supports loads $P_A = 1.8 kN$ and $P_C = 3.1 kN$ as shown. Assume that $L_1 = 125 mm$, $L_2 = 260 mm$, and $L_3 = 190 mm$. The bearing at B can be idealized as a roller support, and the bearing at D can be idealized as a pin support. Determine the magnitude of
(a) the maximum horizontal shear stress in the shaft.
(b) the maximum tension bending stress in the shaft.
Answers:
(a) $\tau_{max} = $
(b) $\sigma_{max} = $
