Experiment # 01
Determine belt friction using belt friction apparatus.

Objective
The purpose of the experiment is to check the flat belt with different angles around a
pulley. The data that is obtained is compared with theoretical values and the coefficients
of friction is determined by specific formula at different angles.

Apparatus

 Belt friction apparatus


 Mass hangers
 Blocks of different weights

Procedure
 Set up the flat belt on the apparatus and place a fixed load of T1=5 N on the hanger.
 Place the cord on the pulley peg in a clockwise direction and add weights on
hanger. Note it’s value is Tcord.
 Gently add weights to the cord hanger until the pulley start rotating with constant
speed.
 Note the load hanger (Tcord) and the spring balance reading (T2 ) at which pulley
start rotating with constant speed.
 Repeat the experiment for angle of 300, 600, 900 and 1200.
Observations

Angle T1 T2 Tcord= m×g
