A V-belt drive transmits 20kW from an electric motor running at 1440rpm to the main shaft of a roving machine. The motor and main shaft pulleys have 300 & 600 rpm respectively. The coefficient of friction between belt and pulley is 0.25. The centre distance between the shafts is 1000mm. The top width, thickness, section angle and density of belt and permissible tension on the belt are 22mm, 14mm and 40deg, 0.97gcm-2 and 600N respectively. How many belts are needed? Calculate the length of a belt needed
