A blower is driven by an electric motor though a belt drive. The motor runs at 750 r.p.m. For this
power transmission,a flat belt of 10 mm thickness and 250 mm width is used. The diameter of
the motor pulley is 1350 mm and that of the blower pulley 350 mm.The center distance between
these pulleys is 1350 mm and an open belt configuration is adopted. The pulleys are made out
of cast iron. The frictional coefficient between the belt and pulley is 0.35 and the permissible stress
for the belt material can be taken as 2.5 N/m㎡ with sufficient factor of safety. The mass of a belt
is 2 kg per meter length.Determine the maximum power transmitted without belt slipping in any
one of the pulleys.?
