An open belt drive connected two parallel shafts 1.2 m apart. The driving and driven shafts rotate at 350 rpm and 140 rpm respectively and the driven pulley is 40 cm diameter. The belt is 5 mm thick and 8 cm wide. u 0.3 and maximum permissible stress in the belting is 140 N/cm2. Determine (a) diameter of the driving pulley, (b) maximum power that may be transmitted by the belting, and (c) required initial tension in the belt. %3D
