4. A power transmission solid steel shaft carries two pulleys (A) and (C) and a gear (D). It is supported onto two bearings (B) and (E) as shown in the figure. The shaft is made from SAE 41404140 OQT 900. Determine: a. The smallest acceptable diameter of the shaft. b. The maximum shear stress in the shaft based on the calculated diameter. c. The shaft deflection at each pulley and at the gear.
