• However, the friction forces are limited in magnitude and will not
prevent motion if sufficiently large forces are applied.
• There are two types of friction: dry or Coulomb friction and fluid
friction. Fluid friction applies to lubricated mechanisms. The
present discussion is limited to dry friction between nonlubricated
surfaces.

Sample Problem 8.8
SOLUTION:
• Since angle of contact is smaller,
slippage will occur on pulley B first.
Determine belt tensions based on
pulley B.
• Taking pulley A as a free-body, sum
moments about pulley center to
A flat belt connects pulley A to pulley B. determine torque.
The coefficients of friction are s = 0.25
and k = 0.20 between both pulleys and
the belt.
Knowing that the maximum allowable
tension in the belt is 3000-N, determine
the largest torque which can be exerted
by the belt on pulley A.
