Question

A polyamide A-3 flat belt 6 in wide is used to transmit 15 hp under light shock conditions where Ks
= 1.25, and a factor of safety equal to or greater than 1.1 is appropriate. The pulley rotational axes
are parallel and in the horizontal plane. The shafts are 8 ft apart. The 6-in driving pulley rotates at
1750 rev/min in such a way that the loose side is on top. The driven pulley is 18 in in diameter. The
coefficient of friction is 0.8. Analyze the centrifugal tension Fc and the torque T.?
