Initial Tension in Belt Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Initial Tension in Belt?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

T o = \frac{T 1 + T 2 + 2 \cdot T c}{2}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

T o = \frac{22N + 11N + 2 \cdot 250N}{2}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

T o = \frac{22 + 11 + 2 \cdot 250}{2}

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

T o = 266.5N
