Question: ( a ) A 3 - to - l speed reduction drive between two parallel shafts at 0 . 8 m centre distance is being

(a) A 3-to-l speed reduction drive between two parallel shafts at 0.8 m centre distance is being provided by a v -belt of mass 0.5kgm(see fig Q3A below). The diameter of the driving pulley is 200 mm and the driving shaft rotates at 750revmin. The driven pulley is 600 mm diameter. The angle between the sides of the belt 2=40. If the maximum belt tension is 500 N and the coefficient of friction between belt and pulleys is 0.35, determine
(i) The linear belt speed and the centripetal tension due to that belt speed.
(4 marks)
(ii) The angle of lap on each pulley
(4 marks)
(iii) The maximum power transmitted by the belt
(8 marks)
(b) If a flat belt having the same maximym tension and also having a mass of 0.5kgm were used in an otheryse identical setup, what would be the maximum power transmission at 750 rpm ?
