How to Calculate Load on Idler in Belt Friction System?

SamMcCrae · May 4, 2012

I've done part a) and b) but I have no idea where to even begin with part c) on figuring out the loading on the idler!

The square root of 2 times the answer you got on (b).

Just sum the two load vectors up.

That makes sense, thanks!
