Question:
Two parallel shafts whose centre line are 4.8 m apart, are connected by open belt drive. The diameter of larger pulley is 1.5 m and that of smaller pulley 1 m. The initial tension in the belt when stationary is 3 kN. The mass of the belt is 1.5 kg/m length. The coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.3 Taking centrifugal tension into account, calculate the power transmitted when the smaller pulley rotates at 400 rpm.
Answer:
