Ex: A solid steel shaft ABCDE having diameter d=30 mm turns freely in bearing at
points A and E. The shaft is driven by a gear at C, which applies a torque T2= 450 N
m in the direction shown in Figure. Gears at B and D are driven by the shaft and
have resisting torque T1=275 N m and T3=175 N m respectively, acting in the
opposite direction to the torque T2. Segments BC and CD have length LBC=500 mm
and LCD= 400 mm and shear modulus G = 80 GPa.
