Problem: A pump is driven by an electric motor through an open type flat belt drive. Determine the belt specifications
for the following data.
Motor pulley diameter= 400 mm
Pump pulley diameter = 800 mm
Coefficient of friction for motor pulley = 0.30
Coefficient of friction for pump pulley = 0.35
Center distance between the pulleys=2000 mm
Rotational speed of the motor=2000 rpm
Power transmission = 40kW
density of belt material = 1000 kg/m3 
width of the belt=240mm
thickness of the belt = 5mm
