- A countershaft carrying two V-belt pullets is shown in the figure. Pulley A receives power from a motor through a belt with the belt tensions shown. The power is transmitted through the shaft and delivered to the belt on pulley B. Assume the belt tension on the loose side (T1) at B is 30% of the tension on the tight side (T2). (a) Determine the tension (i.e., T₂ and T₁) in the belt on pulley B, assuming the shaft is running at a constant speed. (b) Find the magnitudes of the bearing reaction forces, assuming the bearings act as simple supports. (c) Draw shear-force and bending moment diagrams for the shaft (in XZ and XY plane if needed). (d) Calculate the maximum moments at points A and B respectively and find the point of maximum bending moment (A or B).
