A 150-mm-wide polyamide F-1 flat belt is used to connect a 50-mm-diameter pulley to drive a larger pulley with an angular velocity ratio of 0.5. The center-to-center distance is 2.7 m. The angular speed of the small pulley is 1750 rev/min as it delivers 1.5 kW. The service is such that a service factor Ks of 1.25 is appropriate.
(a) Estimate the centrifugal tension Fc and the torque T.
(b) Estimate the allowable F1, F2, and Fi.
c) Check the friction developmen
