**Title: Determining the Minimum Diameter for a Shaft under Load**

---

**Overview**

This educational exercise involves determining the smallest diameter \( d \) of a shaft subjected to a bending stress. Given the conditions, the allowable bending stress is \(\sigma_{\text{allow}} = 130 \, \text{MPa}\).

**Problem Statement**

- **Supports:** The rod is supported by smooth journal bearings at points \( A \) and \( B \). These supports only exert vertical reactions on the shaft.
  
- **Distributed Load:** The shaft is subjected to a uniform distributed load of \( 12 \, \text{kN/m} \).

**Diagram Explanation**

The diagram depicts a beam that is pinned at point \( A \) and supported by a roller at point \( B \):

- **Length and Loading:**
  - The total span of the beam is \( 4.5 \, \text{m} \) (with sections of \( 3 \, \text{m} \) and \( 1.5 \, \text{m} \)).
  - The distributed load covers a portion of the span, creating a triangular loading pattern that peaks at \( 12 \, \text{kN/m} \).

**Objective**

Calculate the minimum diameter \( d \) of the shaft that can safely accommodate the given bending stress without failure.

**Solution Approach**

1. **Determine Reaction Forces:** Calculate the reactions at the supports using static equilibrium equations.
2. **Draw Shear and Moment Diagrams:** Use the reactions to plot shear force and bending moment distributions along the beam.
3. **Calculate Maximum Bending Moment:** Identify the location of the maximum bending moment.
4. **Apply Bending Stress Formula:** Use the relationship \(\sigma = \frac{M \cdot c}{I}\) where:
   - \(\sigma\) is the bending stress,
   - \(M\) is the maximum bending moment,
   - \(c\) is the distance from the neutral axis to the outer fiber,
   - \(I\) is the moment of inertia.
5. **Determine Minimum Diameter:** Rearrange and solve the equation for \( d \) given \(\sigma_{\text{allow}} = 130 \, \text{MPa}\).

**Interactive Section**

- **Calculation Input:** A field for entering the calculated diameter \( d \) with the correct unit of measurement.
