.A V-Belt drive is to be used for a water pump driven by an electric motor. The power of the electric motor 24 kW @ 1200 rpm and this is to be transferred by using the belt given below. The pitch circle diameter of the smaller pulley is 240 mm and the reduction ratio is 2/3. The center distance (C) of the sheaves is 700 mm. If the mass per unit length of the belt is 1.2 kg/m, & the allowable belt tension is 900 N; how many belts are required? NOTE: Coefficient of Friction between the belt and the sheaves is 0.2 25.5mm 8V 40 23.0mm .A V-Belt drive is to be used for a water pump driven by an electric motor.
