Belt Tension in Loose Side of Belt given Tension in Tight Side Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Belt Tension on Loose Side = ((Belt Tension on Tight Side-Mass of Meter Length of Belt*Belt Velocity^2)/(e^(Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive*Wrap Angle on Pulley)))+Mass of Meter Length of Belt*Belt Velocity^2
P₂ = ((P₁-m*v_b^2)/(e^(μ*α)))+m*v_b^2
This formula uses 1 Constants, 6 Variables

Constants Used

e - Napier's constant Value Taken As 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249

Variables Used

Belt Tension on Loose Side - (Measured in Newton) - Belt Tension on Loose Side is defined as the belt's tension on the belt's loose side.
Belt Tension on Tight Side - (Measured in Newton) - Belt Tension on Tight Side is defined as the belt's tension on the belt's tight side.
Mass of Meter Length of Belt - (Measured in Kilogram per Meter) - Mass of Meter Length of Belt is the mass of 1-meter length of the belt simply mass per unit length of the belt.
Belt Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Belt Velocity is defined as the velocity of the belt used in a belt drive.
Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive - Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of the belt over the pulley.
Wrap Angle on Pulley - (Measured in Radian) - Wrap Angle on Pulley is the angle between the run-up and run-off of the belt on the pulley.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Belt Tension on Tight Side: 800 Newton --> 800 Newton No Conversion Required
Mass of Meter Length of Belt: 0.6 Kilogram per Meter --> 0.6 Kilogram per Meter No Conversion Required
Belt Velocity: 25.81 Meter per Second --> 25.81 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction for Belt Drive: 0.35 --> No Conversion Required
Wrap Angle on Pulley: 160.2 Degree --> 2.79601746169439 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P₂ = ((P₁-m*v_b^2)/(e^(μ*α)))+m*v_b^2 --> ((800-0.6*25.81^2)/(e^(0.35*2.79601746169439)))+0.6*25.81^2

Evaluating ... ...

P₂ = 550.142635337499

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

550.142635337499 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

550.142635337499 ≈ 550.1426 Newton <-- Belt Tension on Loose Side

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
