SUMMARY
The 'tight side' of a V-belt on Pulley C is identified as the side where the tension is greater, typically referred to as the F1 side. To confirm this, one can perform a torque balance analysis, which will reveal the distribution of forces acting on the belt. Understanding this concept is crucial for effective belt drive system maintenance and optimization.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of V-belt mechanics
