1. An open belt was run over two pulleys in different diameter (D1=0.5 m; D2 = 0.25 m) as illustrated
below. The pulleys are connected in parallel with the distance of 3 meters. The ratio of belt tension
between pulley-1 (T1) and pulley-2 (T2) is 3.00. The safe tension for the belt in pulley-1 is 10 Newton
per mm width (wide of belt is 0.16 m). Estimate the power (P) introduced in the pulley-2 for rotating 240
rpm.
P = (T1-T2).V2; where T1, T2 is tension of Pulley-1 and Pulley-2 (Newton); V2 is linear velocity of Pulley-
2; P is the power in watt.

2. It is required to transport the dry grain to the packaging unit with the capacity of 2 ton per hour. The
horizontal distance is 60 meters and the height is 20 meter. Select the type of conveyor used. How does
the transportation system work?
