The belt tensioner shown pivots about the point A and uses a spring to add tension to a belt. Given the force from the spring is 10 pounds and the pulleys are 2 inches in radius and the dimensions shown below calculate the tension in the belt. Assume the pulleys are frictionless. L = 9 inches, d = 4 inches, 0 = 15 Tc Choose the most correct Free Body Diagram (Click (Click abcde e) B To B L C FB FB A The tension in the belt is MA A r D 0 E TE lbs E a) c) B B To L L FB C M MA FB FA A FAV A d FAX FAX d 0 r D TE D X E 0 TE E b) d) Tc B Tc B C 0 C L F L A A FAX D 0 r 0 Y X D E 10 TE X E 10 TE
