TOPIC 1.1 SAMPLE PROBLEMS

Problem 1: Two pulleys, one 450 mm diameter and the other 200 mm diameter are on parallel
shafts 1.95 m apart and are connected by a crossed belt. Find the length of the belt required and the
angle of contact between the belt and each pulley. What power can be transmitted by the belt when
the larger pulley rotates at 200 rev/min, if the maximum permissible tension in the belt is 1 kN, and
the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.25?

Problem 2: An open flat belt is required to transmit 30 kW from a pulley of 1.5 m effective
diameter running at 300 r.p.m. The angle of contact is spread over 11/24 of the circumference. The
coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley surface is 0.3. Determine, taking centrifugal
tension into account, width of the belt required. It is given that the belt thickness is 9.5 mm, density
of its material is 1100 kg/m3 and the related permissible working stress is 2.5 MPa.
