1. Figure shows a countershaft with helical gear (B), bevel gear (D), and two supporting bearings (A and C). Loads acting
on the bevel gear are known. Forces on the helical gears can be determined. Shaft dimensions are known. Only bearing
A takes thrust. The shaft rotates at 1000 rpm and is made of hardened steel having known values of Sy=480 MPa.
(a) Draw shear force, bending moment, and torque diagrams for the shaft in the xy and xz planes.
(b) Calculate the forces at the bearings A and C.
(c) Select a suitable bearing for this shaft for 8000 hours life and normal loading and normal running.
(d) Also determine the factor of safety of shaft according to von Mises static failure criteria.

2. Figure shows a cantilevered chain idler sprocket driven by a roller chain that applies a 9000 N force. Select proper the
ball bearings for the shaft for this shaft for 6000 hours life and normal loading and normal running. The shaft rotates at
850 rpm and has 30 mm dia.
3. What change in the loading of a radial-contact ball bearing will cause the expected bearing life to double? To triple?
