Question

The tension in a pulley belt is 300 N when stationary. The smaller pulley has a diameter
of 300 mm and a speed of 1420 rev/min. The coefficient of friction between the belt and
the pulley is 0·4 and the angle of lap is 160°.

(1) Calculate the tension in each side of the belt at operating speed. 
(2) Determine the power transmitted when the belt is on the point of slipping. 
If the pulley system uses a flat belt of CSA 500 mm² and density 1300 kg/m3, determine:
(3) The power transmitted, when the mass of the belt is taken into consideration.
