If the shaft AB is rotating with a constant angular velocity
of , determine the X,Y,Zcomponents of
reaction at the thrust bearing Aand journal bearing Bat
the instant shown. The disk has a weight of 15 lb.Neglect
the weight of the shaft AB.

SOLUTION
The rotating xyz frame is set with its origin at the plate’s mass center,Fig. a.This
frame will be fixed to the disk so that its angular velocity is and the x,y, and
zaxes will always be the principle axes of inertia of the disk. Referring to Fig. b,
Since is always directed towards the axis and has a constant magnitude,
The mass moments of intertia of the disk about the x,y,zaxes are
Applying the equations of motion,
