A belt 200 mm wide and 7 mm thick drives a pulley at belt speed of 25 m/s. The density of the belt is 980 kg/m3 and the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.23. Given that the angle of contact of pulley is 2π/3 and the allowable stress of the belt is 1.8 MPa, determine the tension on the slack side of the belt (T2) in N
