pulley problem Definition and 171 Threads

Hi all, I've looked through design manuals (SDP/SI, Gates, Naismith) and textbooks like Shigley's, but haven't found an equation linking initial belt tension to pulley center-to-center distance for a timing belt. I understand initial tension is typically based on the applied load, but I'm...

The main aim of doing this is, i want to perform modal analysis on the shaft of the fan, and i want to also include the resultant force and the moment acting on the shaft of the fan due to the motion on the pulley. I will attach the formulas that i found and also system image. Can you guys...

I'm not really struggling with the question but the coordinate systems involved more so. So due to the modelling assumptions we know that the tension will be equal throughout the rope so we can use f = ma on each particle respectively and solve the resulting equation (as acceleration will be...

in the opposite problem that has three pulleys and two masses, the book is asking for : 1- the tension on the string. 2- the acceleration of pulley p1. 3- the acceleration of mass m2. 4- what should the mass "m" be such that m1 does not accelerate? note : pulley p1 has mass m, in the diagram of...

Setting up coordinates for the problem ##L=\frac{1}{2}M_1 \dot{x}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_2(\dot y-\dot x)^2+M_1gx+M_2g(l_a-x+y)## After using Euler Lagrange for x component and y component separate and substitute one to another then I get that ##\ddot{x}=\frac{M_1-2M_2}{M_1}g## whereas on the...

##Net force=50-T2+T2-T1+T1-20=10a## ##a=3 m/s^2## I want to ask when we do this way rather than taking individual masses we can’t decide the direction of the system as we can when they are taken individually. So is it correct to just leave ##a## as it is and solve ?

##(T-m1g)-(T-m2g)=(m1+m2)a## But I think this is wrong eqn.

i) I first analyzed the forces as soon as the 14 Kg is released. The aim of this step is to calculate the work done by the net force acting on the 14 kg mass to determine the change in kinetic energy. T-14g=-14a T-8g=8a T=99.7 N a=6g/22 m/s^2 Since the net force is constant and does not vary...

I tried hard but was not able to make progress. Problem no 33.

I've deduced that the weight of each weight p is half that of the weight P, and likewise P= 2p. Here's the diagram for the problem: As you can see, the length x is equal to the height of the triangle AEB. I know that if a triangle has equal sides of length ##a## and a base of length ##b##, the...

I am able to solve this easily using energy conservation, but I'm curious how one would go about solving this using forces and torques?

The figure : What I understand from the figure : T1=m1a1 T2=m2a2 T3-m3g=m3(-a3) - The three masses given all have different mass so each of them has different acceleration - How do one substitute to obtain the answer for a3? - I've tried to substitute to find the value of a3, but it seems...

The problem is attached in the photo. The correct answer, according to the teacher's solution, was obtained using conservation of energy. Initially I tried using Newton's law/kinematics and got the wrong answer. Why didn't this work? Can you ever use Newton's law/kinematics to solve pulley...
