QI/ An open belt running over two pulleys 24 cm and 60 cm diameters connects two parallel shafts 3 m apart and transmits 3.75 Kw from the smaller pulley that rotates at 300 r.p.m. coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulleys is 0.3 and the safe working tension is 100 N/em width. Determine: i) minimum width of the belt, ii) initial belt tension, and ii) length of the belt required.

Question
QI/ An open belt running over two pulleys 24 cm and 60 em diameters connects two parallel
shafts 3 m apart and transmits 3.75 KWw from the smaller pulley that rotates at 300 r.p.m.
coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulleys is 0.3 and the safe working tension is
100 N/em width. Determine: i) minimum width of the belt, ii) initial belt tension, and ii)
length of the belt required.
