TIMING-BELT DRIVE
Problem: A V-belt drive system consists of two sheaves with a pitch diameter 12.5 cm and 30 cm. The smaller sheave is driven by an 2 Hp electric motor rotating at 3600 rpm. What is the (linear) belt speed? What is the rotational speed of the larger sheave? What is the tension in the belt when the motor is operating at the rated power?
