Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
1. The solid shaft is supported by journal bearings at A and B that exert force components online in the x and z directions. Knowing that \(\tau_{\text{all}} = 6 \, \text{ksi}\), determine the smallest permissible diameter of shaft AB.
**Illustration Description:**
The diagram shows a solid shaft with two gears and two journal bearings. The first gear is positioned closer to point C and the second gear closer to point E. The following details are annotated on the diagram:
- **Point A (bearing):** Located between points C and E.
- **Point B (bearing):** Located near end E of the shaft.
- **Gear at C:** Exerts a force \( F_x = 200 \, \text{lb} \) on the shaft. This gear is 4 inches from point A.
- **Gear between A and B:** Exerts a vertical force \( F_z = 50 \, \text{lb} \) on the shaft, shown 8 inches from the gear at C.
- **Gear at E:** Exerts a force \( F_x = 250 \, \text{lb} \) on the shaft. This gear is also 4 inches from point B, which is at the extreme right end near point E.
The shaft consists of:
- A section from C to A measuring 4 inches.
- A section from A to another gear measuring 8 inches.
- A section from the gear to B measuring another 8 inches.
- A section from B to E measuring 4 inches.
**Objective:**
Calculate the smallest permissible diameter of shaft AB that can withstand the given forces without exceeding the allowed shear stress of \(6 \, \text{ksi}\).
