I have a series of pulleys where the belt is running around them in a way to describe a sine curve. The pulleys are stationary and the belt is running from left to right. For every particle of the belt I can use standard formula to calculate their normal acceleration, when in contact with the pulley.
Now suppose that we have very long belt which is stationary and pulleys are now moving from left to right. Can I use the same formula to calculate normal acceleration of the points on the belt when in contact with the pulley?
Now the points of the belt are in simple harmonic motion and are not circling, looking from this perspective.
