Calculate the reactions at the bearings:

Using equilibrium of moment from the left bearing:

−a∗0,4 P+ b∗Ry 2−l∗P=0

( l+0,4 a ) P ( 20+0,4∗16 )∗1000 lb

Ry 2= = =1466,67 lb
b 18
Using newton’s first law in the Y axis:

Ry 1 + Ry 2−P−0,4 P=0

Ry 1=1000+ 0,4∗1000−1466,67=−66,67 lb

The inner shear forces along the beam are then:

Vo=−66,67 lb
V 1=−66,67−0,4∗1000=−466,67lb

V 2=−466,67+1466,67=1000 lb

V 3=1000−1000=0

And the bending moments are:

M o=0
M 1=−66,67∗16∈¿−1066,72lb∗on

M 2=−1066,72−466,67∗2∈¿−2000,06 lb
 M 3=−2000,06+ 1000∗2 ≈ 0

i) Since there is only bending and torque, the maximum normal stress corresponds with the
maximum bending moment, Thus the location is at 2 (the right bearing) with M=2000lb

iii) The maximum bending stress is located at the surface of the shaft, specifically at the bottom
and top in the Y axis as the distance from the neutral fiber is maximum, at this point the torque
also creates the maximum shear.

The maximum shear stress can be calculated as the mean value between principal stresses:
