The ship is pushed through the water using an A-36 steel propeller shaft that is 8 m long, measured
from the propeller to the thrust bearing D at the engine. If it has an outer diameter of 400 mm and a
wall thickness of 50 mm, determine the amount of axial contraction of the shaft when the propeller
exerts a force on the shaft of 5 kN. The bearings at B and C are journal bearings.
