determine the components of the force of reaction at point a. assume that the positive x and y axes are directed to the right and upward, respectively and that positive moments act counterclockwise.

Abrake has a normal braking torque of 2.8 kip in and heat-dissipating cast-iron surfaces whose mass is 40 lbm. suppose a load is brought to rest in 8.0 s from an initial angular speed of 1600 rev/min using the normal braking torque; estimate the temperature rise of the heat dissipating surfaces.
