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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Belt Tension on Tight Side = 2*Initial Tension in Belt-Belt Tension on Loose Side
P₁ = 2*P_i-P₂
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Initial Tension in Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Initial Tension in Belt is defined as the tension given to the belt drive at the beginning.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Initial Tension in Belt: 675 Newton --> 675 Newton No Conversion Required
Belt Tension on Loose Side: 550 Newton --> 550 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P₁ = 2*P_i-P₂ --> 2*675-550

Evaluating ... ...

P₁ = 800

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

800 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

800 Newton <-- Belt Tension on Tight Side

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
