The power transmitted between two shafts 3.5 metres apart by a cross belt drive round the two pulleys 600 mm and 300 mm in diameters, is 6 kW. The speed of the larger pulley (driver) is 220 r.p.m. The permissible load on the belt is 25 N/mm width of the belt which is 5 mm thick. The coefficient of friction between the smaller pulley surface and the belt is 0.35. Determine : 1. necessary length of the belt ; 2. width of the belt, and 3. necessary initial tension in the belt.
