The shaft is suppoiled at A by ajournal bearing that
exerts only vertical reac(ions on the shaft and at B
by a thrust bearing that exerts horizontal and verti-
cal reactions on the shaft. Draw the bending mo-
nrent diagranr for the shrft and then, from this di-
agram. sketch the deflection or the ellstic curve fbr
