Belt Drive and Lifting machines

A belt 100mm wide and 8mm thick is transmitting power of a belt of speed of 1600m/minute. The angle of lap for the smaller pulley is 165 deg. And the coefficient of friction is 0.3. The maximum permissible stress in belt is 2MN/sq.m. and the mass of belt is 0.9 kg/m. find the power transmitted and the initial tension in the belt.

An open belt running over two pulleys 1.5m and 1.0m diameter connects two parallel shafts 4.80m apart. The initial tension in the belt when stationary is 3000N. If the smaller pulley is rotating at 600 rpm and coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.3. Determine the power transmitted taking centrifugal tension into account. The mass of the belt is given as 0.6703 kg/m length.

The maximum permissible stress in belt is 2500 KN/sq.m. and the mass of belt is 10 KN/cubic m. Find the maximum power that can be transmitted and the corresponding belt speed.
