H.W. A blower is driven by an electric motor through a belt drive. The motor runs at 450 r.p.m. For this power transmission, a flat Leather belt with 2400mm2 cross section area is used. The diameter of the motor pulley is 350 mm and that of the blower pulley is 875 mm . The center distance between these pulleys is 3.5 m . The pulleys are made of cast iron. The permissible stress for the belt material is 4.8Nmm2. Find the maximum power transmitted without belt slipping in any one of the pulleys and give the standard dimensions for the belt, width, thickness and length.
