A ball thrust bearing (as shown in Fig. 1) with 7 balls is loaded with 700 N across its races through the balls. Diameter of spherical balls is 10 mm. Assume load is equally shared by all balls, and race is a flat surface (R 200). Determine the size of contact patch on the race. Assume Poisson’s ratio 0.28 and E207 GPa for ball and race materials.
