SOLUTION (19.1) Known: The angle of wrap on the motor pulley is 160°, the slack-side tension is known. The belt friction factor is known. Centrifugal force is to be assumed negligible. Find: Determine the torque capacity of the motor pulley Schematic and Given Data: ° Slack Side we R=40N Angle of wrap = 160° 1027 Assumptions: 1.
