Belt Tension in Tight Side of V-Belt Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Belt Tension in Tight Side of V-Belt?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

P 1 = (e^{μ} \cdot \frac{α}{\sin (\frac{θ}{2})}) \cdot (P 2 - m v \cdot {v b}^{2}) + m v \cdot {v b}^{2}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

P 1 = (e^{0.35} \cdot \frac{160.2°}{\sin (\frac{62°}{2})}) \cdot (550N - 0.76kg/m \cdot {25.81m/s}^{2}) + 0.76kg/m \cdot {25.81m/s}^{2}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

P 1 = (e^{0.35} \cdot \frac{2.796rad}{\sin (\frac{1.0821rad}{2})}) \cdot (550N - 0.76kg/m \cdot {25.81m/s}^{2}) + 0.76kg/m \cdot {25.81m/s}^{2}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

P 1 = (e^{0.35} \cdot \frac{2.796}{\sin (\frac{1.0821}{2})}) \cdot (550 - 0.76 \cdot {25.81}^{2}) + 0.76 \cdot {25.81}^{2}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

P 1 = 843.098203897395N

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

P 1 = 843.0982N
