Question: Granular material, having a density is transported on a conveyor belt that slides over the fixed surface, having a coefficient of kinetic friction of
Granular material, having a density ρ is transported on a conveyor belt that slides over the fixed surface, having a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk. Operation of the belt is provided by a motor that supplies a torque M to wheel A. The wheel at B is free to turn, and the coefficient of static friction between the wheel at A and the belt is μΑ. If the belt is subjected to a pretension T when no load is on the belt, determine the greatest volume V of material that is permitted on the belt at any time without allowing the belt to stop. What is the torque M required to drive the belt when it is subjected to this maximum load?
Units used:
Mg = 106 g
Given:
r = 100 mm
μA = 0.4
μk = 0.3
ρ = 1500 kg/m3
T = 300 N
g = 9.81m/s2
