It carries a central load of \( 900 \text{ N} \) and is simply supported between the bearings \( 2.5 \text{ meters} \) apart. Determine the size of the shaft, if the allowable shear stress is \( 42 \text{ MPa} \) and the maximum tensile or compressive stress is not to exceed \( 56 \text{ MPa} \). What size of the shaft will be required, if it is subjected to gradually applied loads?
