A countershaft carrying two V-belt pulleys 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 at B is 15 percent of the tension on the tight side. Determine the tensions in the belt on pulley B, assuming the shaft is running at a constant speed. Find the magnitudes of the bearing reaction forces, assuming the bearings act as simple supports. Draw shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the shaft. If needed, make one set for the horizontal plane and another set for the vertical plane.
