An electric motor is"driving" a machine in a textile factory with a "flat belt". The motor is delivering 1.25 hp at 1725 rpm to the machine and the coefficient of friction between the belt and the 3.5 in diameter steel pulley attached to the motor shaft is μ = 0.25. If the tension in the "tight side" of the flat belt is 54 lb, what is the minimum "angle of wrap" needed to prevent the flat belt from slipping on the motor pulley? Ans. 151.3°

Q1: - The block shown in figure below has a mass of 100 kg and is resting on 30° inclined surface. The block is connected to another block with a weight of W through a light and inextensible cord that is passing around a frictionless pully.
