TL;DR Summary
A band is wrapped around 4 rollers, assuming no tension change in the belt and no stretch, how can you solve for the face pressure / normal force on roller 3. The contact area on Roller three is 12 ft, and each roller is 80 inches in length

Is this homework? If so, we can move it to the homework forum.

This is PF, where we help you, but do not fully solve it for you. So, here's some help:

Step 1: Get all of your units correct.

Step 2: Calculate the tension in the band.

Step 3: Sketch and post a free body diagram for Roller 3.
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
