A small air compressor for an aircraft cabin consists of the 3.50-kg turbine A which drives the 2.40-kg blower B at a speed of 20 000 rev/min. The shaft of the assembly is mounted transversely to the direction of flight and is viewed from the rear of the aircraft in the figure. The radii of gyration of A and B are 79.0 and 71.0 mm, respectively. Calculate the radial forces exerted on the shaft by the bearings at C and D if the aircraft executes a clockwise roll (rotation about the longitudinal flight axis) of 2 rad/s viewed from the rear of the aircraft. Neglect the small moments caused by the weights of the rotors. Draw a free-body diagram of the shaft as viewed from above and indicate the shape of its deflected centerline.
