Hi, I'm not the best with algebra and I've been wrestling with a formula this afternoon. It is a formula to calculate a belt length based on 2 pulley sizes and the distance between the centres. I would like to be able to calculate the distance between the centres based on the pulley sizes and the belt length so instead of solving for L I need to solve for C. I would love to know what I'm doing wrong in isolating C. Anyway, here is the eqn.
L=2C+∏ (D+d)/2 + (D-d)^2/4C
L= Belt length
C= Distance between pulley centres
D= Big pulley Dia
d= Small pulley Dia
Thanks :)
