The discussion revolves around determining the coefficient of friction for flat and vee belts, particularly in relation to their use with steel pulleys. Participants are exploring the effects of lap angle on the torque transmission capabilities of these belt systems.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking more information from the original poster to better understand the problem. There is an emphasis on clarifying the variables involved and the attempts made so far, but no consensus or resolution has been reached yet.

Could you be a bit more elaborate ? What is the complete problem statement, what variables occur, which ones are known/given, what relevant equations do you have in your toolbox, what precisely have you done and why do you think that it isn't correct ?
On all counts you make it very difficult to assist you in a sensible way; please try again. Perhaps read the guidelines, too.
