Hello all. I am trying to understand how to calculate the load in a certain arrangement. More specifically, when there is no work being done on the belt, a set of idlers are under equal load. When the main drive pulley at the top is rotating counter clockwise, the belt on the right in the...

Homework Statement I think I made a mistake somewhere.. Homework Equations T = Jα T = F*R The Attempt at a Solution A) I started with T = Jα Since there is no slip, αm = αL Thus: Tm / Jm = TL / JL Plugging in, we find TL = Tm * JL / Jm = 2560 Now use T = F*R. Tm = Fm * Rm Plugging in...

Hello All I have recently been trying to get my head around torque and think I am getting there. but I am struggling to understand the different of using a wrench to move an object i.e a bolt and using a belt to move something ok i.e an alternator. I don't get is it the entire lenth of...

Howdy all! In some project I do,I need to design belt transmission,now the tricky part is: On the output of the belt,I have wheel that needs to turn at 700 rpm,and I need to deliver power of 6KW. Now the weird question:I need to design the belt transmission so I will have 20 percent power loss...

My initial thought was that the plane wouldn't be able to take off. If the conveyor is moving in the opposite direction as the plane, at the same speed, then the plane wouldn't move relative to the ground (as if you're running on a treadmill, you're not actually changing position relative to the...
