Since = 0.15, Eq. 1 becomes
600 lb = (5 lb) e
Solving gives = 31.917 radians. If n is the
number of turns of rope, then the number of
radians is 2 n. Equating this to gives an
equation for n:
2 n =
= 31.917 rad
Solving for n gives
n = 5.08 turns
Rounding off to the next higher integer then gives
n = 6 Ans.
Apply the equation for belt friction:
T2 = T1e (1)
In this equation, T2 is the tension in the direction
of impending motion
T2 = 600 lb
The other tension, T1, is in the direction opposite
the impending motion, so
T1 = 5 lb

The flat belt then overcomes the resisting torque T at pulley B and rotates the pulley B
clockwise. Determine the minimum tension that can exist in the belt without causing
the belt to slip at pulley A. Also determine the corresponding resisting torque T. The
coefficient of static friction between the belt and the pulleys is 0.3.

Finally, we must check that pulley B does not slip. But this follows
from the observation that pulley B has a larger angle of wrap than
pulley A. Thus it must be able to carry a maximum possible tension
larger than the 86.5 lb maximum tension that pulley A carries.
