A synthetic belt of density 994kg/m3 is used in an open-belt drive. The belt is wrapped around a pulley of diameter 900mm running at 324rpm. If the angle of contact with the small pulley is 2∙π/3 radians and the maximum stress on the tight side is limited to 2000kPa. The coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley is 0.35 and the belt width and thickness are 250mm and 10mm, respectively. . Calculate:
The power transmitted by the belt in Watts (W)
