Question: A heat-treated steel shaft is to be designed to support the spur gear and the overhanging worm shown in the figure. A bearing at A

A heat-treated steel shaft is to be designed to support the spur gear and the overhanging worm shown in the figure. A bearing at A takes pure radial load. The bearing at B takes the worm-thrust load for either direction of rotation. The dimensions and the loading are shown in the figure; note that the radial loads are in the same plane. Make a complete design of the shaft, including a sketch of the shaft showing all dimensions. Identify the material and its heat treatment (if necessary).
Provide an assessment of your final design. The shaft speed is 310rev/min.
