The angle embraced is 175° and the coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.25. A leather belt is required to transmit 9.5 kW from a pulley 10 cm in diameter, running at 200 r.p.m.. If the safe working stress for the leather belt is 2 MPa, density of leather 1000 Kg/m and thickness of belt 1 cm, determine the width of the belt taking centrifugal tension into account.

Question
The angle embraced is 175° and the coefficient of friction between the belt and
the pulley is 0.25. A leather belt is required to transmit 9.5 kW from a pulley 10
cm in diameter, running at 200 r.p.m.. If the safe working stress for the leather
belt is 2 MPa, density of leather 1000 Kg/m and thickness of belt 1 cm, determine
the width of the belt taking centrifugal tension into account.
