### Problem 8-98

**Task:**
Show that the frictional relationship between the belt tensions, the coefficient of friction \(\mu\), and the angular contacts \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) for the V-belt is 

\[ T_2 = T_1 e^{\mu \beta \sin(\alpha/2)} \]

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Left Diagram:**
  - Displays the side view of a V-belt wrapped around a pulley.
  - Indicates impending motion with an arrow, showing the direction of movement.
  - Labels \( T_2 \) and \( T_1 \) represent the tensions in the belt on either side of the pulley.
  - The angle \(\beta\) is shown as the angle subtended by the belt on the pulley, centered at the pivot.

- **Right Diagram:**
  - Provides a cross-sectional view of the V-belt.
  - Shows the angle \(\alpha\) as the angle of contact between the belt and the pulley sides.
  
This relationship is fundamental in understanding the mechanics of belt drives and their efficiency in transmitting power.
