An open flat belt is required to transmit 50 kW from a pulley of 1.5 m effective diameter running at 300 r.p.m. The angle of contact is spread over 11/24 of the circumference. The coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley surface is 0.3. Determine, taking centrifugal tension into account, width of the belt required in mm. It is given that the belt thickness is 9.5 mm, density of its material is 1100 kg/m3 and the related permissible working stress is 2.5 MPa.
