What are the various loses in the power

transmission by belts?
A leather belt 9mm X 250 mm is used to drive a
cast iron pulley 900mm in diameter at 336rpm. If
the active arc on the smaller pulley is 120 and
stress in tight side is 2 MPa, find the power
capacity of the belt. The density of the leather may
be taken as 980 kg/m3 and coefficient of friction of
leather on cast iron is 0.35.

Select a wire rope for a vertical mine hoist to lift

10,000 kN of coal from a depth of 750 m in each 8
hours shift. Assume a two compartment shaft with
hoisting skips in balance. Assume rope velocity 750
m/min, acceleration and declaration periods of
each 10 sec and rest periods of each 10 sec for
discharging and loading. Assume skip weight to be
half of that of the load. E= 8 X 104 N/mm2 .
Sketch and name the different types of compund
wire ropes.
A workshop crane is lifting a load of 25 kN through
a wire rope and a hook. The weight of the hook tc.,
is 15 kN. The rope drum diameter may be taken as
30 times the diameter of the rope. The load is to be
lifted with an acceleration of 1 m /s2 . Calculate the
diameter of the wire rope. Take a factor of safety of
6 and youngs modulus for the wire rope 80
kN/mm2 . The ultimate stress may be taken sa 1800
Mpa. The cross sectional area of the wire rope
may be taken as 0.38 times the square of the wire
rope diameter.
How is a wire rope specified?
