Question: A 0 . 0 0 3 - in thick beryllium - copper metal flat belt with S f = 5 6 . 6 7 k

A 0.003-in thick beryllium-copper metal flat belt with Sf=56.67k is to transmit 5 hp at 1,450revmin with a life goal of 106 belt
passes between two shafts 23 in apart whose centerlines are in a horizontal plane. The coefficient of friction between belt and pulley
is 0.32. The conditions are such that a service factor of 1.25 and a design factor of 1.1 are appropriate. The driving shaft has a 4-in
pulley and rotates at 3 times the driven shaft. Specify the minimum belt width and the corresponding initial tension.
The minimum belt width is
in.(Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
The corresponding initial tension is
Ibf.
