Ok I have realized that the motor produces torque M and ΣM about G =0, T2*r-T1*r=0 (See attachment in post #1 for FB) If you set M=T2*r-T2*r this will be when incipient slipping of the belt is about to occur. Using this with T1=T2*e^(µß) we have two equations and two unknowns. Solve for the...

I think that my assumption that force of friction (Ff ) is equal to µdN is wrong. I am not sure how to determine what dN is in this problem. If anybody has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Unless the lower rotor blower puller is out of balance the piston can never have instantaneous velocity. Unfortunately there is no such thing as a naturally aspirated internal combustion engine that can run with the lower rotor blower pulley out of balance thus….. the piston must stop moving at...

I am pretty sure that it is not move at TDC and BDC and I am pretty sure that that is when acceleration is at a max. This is probably why there is so much confusion about this one. Also, the acceleration is o when velocity is at a max which would be approximately mid stroke. So my answer is YES...

Homework Statement A flat belt is used to transmit the 25 ld-ft torque developed by an electric motor. the drum in contact with the belt has a diameter of 6 in., and the coefficient of static friction between the belt and the drum is 0.30. Determine the minimum allowable value of the tension...

a: pi/2 is just the phase shift. Will pi/2 make them out of phase? b: with no variable (Theta) plug and chug in the calculator unless you teacher wants you to prove? c: does does x+x=2x? d: when Theta =? or maybe I should say will it for any Theta.

If you have a graphing calculator you can graph both equation to verify they are equal.
