Step-by-step solution
5 stepsList the given values and convert them to standard units.
Power transmitted, .
Diameter of the driving pulley, .
Rotational speed of the driving pulley, .
Contact angle, .
Coefficient of friction, .Calculate the belt velocity ().
Convert the contact angle to radians.
Set up equations for tensions.
The power transmitted is given by:
So,
The relationship between tight side tension () and slack side tension () is:
First, calculate the exponent:
Now, calculate :
So, , which means
Solve the system of equations for and .
Substitute into :
Now, find using :
The Tight-side tension is and the Slack-side tension is .
