Mass per unit length of belt Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Mass per unit length of belt?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
m=P1-((eμα)P2)(vb2)(1-(eμα))
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
m=800N-((e0.35160.2°)550N)(25.81m/s2)(1-(e0.35160.2°))
Next Step Convert Units
m=800N-((e0.352.796rad)550N)(25.81m/s2)(1-(e0.352.796rad))
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
m=800-((e0.352.796)550)(25.812)(1-(e0.352.796))
Next Step Evaluate
m=0.599656954727705kg/m
LAST Step Rounding Answer
m=0.5997kg/m

FAQs on Mass per unit length of belt

What is the formula to find Mass per unit length of belt?
The formula of Mass per unit length of belt is expressed as Mass of Meter Length of Belt = (Belt Tension on Tight Side-((e^(Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley))*Belt Tension on Loose Side))/((Belt Velocity^2)*(1-(e^(Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley)))). Here is an example- 0.599657 = (800-((e^(0.35*2.79601746169439))*550))/((25.81^2)*(1-(e^(0.35*2.79601746169439)))).
How to calculate Mass per unit length of belt?
With Belt Tension on Tight Side (P1), Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive (μ), Wrap Angle on Pulley (α), Belt Tension on Loose Side (P2) & Belt Velocity (vb) we can find Mass per unit length of belt using the formula - Mass of Meter Length of Belt = (Belt Tension on Tight Side-((e^(Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley))*Belt Tension on Loose Side))/((Belt Velocity^2)*(1-(e^(Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley)))).
Can the Mass per unit length of belt be negative?
No, the Mass per unit length of belt, measured in Linear Mass Density cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Mass per unit length of belt?
