Explanation Consider w be the width as a function of r . w = c 0 + c 1 r (1) Sketch the triangular cross section as shown in Figure 1. Refer to Figure 1. The width w = b at r = r 1 . The width w = 0 at r = r 2 . The height of the triangle is h = r 2 − r 1 . Calculate the width b 1 as shown below. Substitute b for w and r 1 for r in Equation (1). b = c 0 + c 1 r 1 (2) Similarly, Substitute 0 for w and r 2 for r in Equation (1). 0 = c 0 + c 1 r 2 (3) Reduce Equations (1) and (2) as shown below. b = c 0 + c 1 r 1 − ( c 0 + c 1 r 2 ) b = c 1 ( r 1 − r 2 ) c 1 = b − ( r 2 − r 1 ) Substitute h for r 2 − r 1 . c 1 = − b h Calculate the value of c 0 as shown below. Substitute − b ( r 2 − r 1 ) for c 1 in Equation (2). b = c 0 − b ( r 2 − r 1 ) r 1 b ( r 2 − r 1 ) = c 0 ( r 2 − r 1 ) − b r 1 b r 2 − b r 1 = c 0 ( r 2 − r 1 ) − b r 1 r 2 b = c 0 ( r 2 − r 1 ) c 0 = r 2 b r 2 − r 1 Substitute h for r 2 − r 1 . c 0 = r 2 b h Sketch the cross section of triangle with a strip of thickness dr as shown in Figure 2. Refer to Figure 2. Calculate the area of the strip ( d A ) as shown below. d A = w d r Substitute c 0 + c 1 r for w . d A = ( c 0 + c 1 r ) d r d A r = ( c 0 + c 1 r ) d r r Integrate both sides of the Equation

A countershaft carrying two V-belt pullets is shown in the figure. Pulley A receives power from a motor through a belt with the belt tensions shown. The power is transmitted through the shaft and delivered to the belt on pulley B. Assume the belt tension on the loose side (T1) at B is 30% of the tension on the tight side (T2). (a) Determine the tension (i.e., T₂ and T₁) in the belt on pulley B, assuming the shaft is running at a constant speed.
