(b) An open belt drive connects two pulleys, having same diameter of 100 mm , on parallel shafts 1.5 m apart. The driver pulley runs at 1500 rpm . The flat belt has a material density of \(12.5\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\), and themaximum tension in it is not to exceed 720 N . If the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.4, and cross section area of the belt is \(320\mathrm{~mm}^{2}\);
a) Calculate the maximum different of the belt tension ( N ).
Furthermore, if the creep occurs on the belt, and the modulus of elasticity of the belt is \(300\mathrm{MN}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\);
b) Find the velocity of the follower pulley \((\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s})\).
c) Determine the power that can be transmitted (kW)
