Mass per unit length of belt Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Constants Used

e - Napier's constant Value Taken As 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249

Variables Used

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 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.
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.
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 Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Belt Velocity is defined as the velocity of the belt used in a belt drive.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Belt Tension on Tight Side: 800 Newton --> 800 Newton 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)
Belt Tension on Loose Side: 550 Newton --> 550 Newton No Conversion Required
Belt Velocity: 25.81 Meter per Second --> 25.81 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

m = (P₁-((e^(μ*α))*P₂))/((v_b^2)*(1-(e^(μ*α)))) --> (800-((e^(0.35*2.79601746169439))*550))/((25.81^2)*(1-(e^(0.35*2.79601746169439))))

Evaluating ... ...

m = 0.599656954727705

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.599656954727705 Kilogram per Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.599656954727705 ≈ 0.599657 Kilogram per Meter <-- Mass of Meter Length of Belt

Wrap Angle for Small Pulley

Go Wrap Angle on Small Pulley = 3.14-(2*(asin((Diameter of Big Pulley-Diameter of Small Pulley)/(2*Centre Distance between Pulleys))))

Center Distance from Small Pulley to Big Pulley given Wrap Angle of Small Pulley

Go Centre Distance between Pulleys = (Diameter of Big Pulley-Diameter of Small Pulley)/(2*sin((3.14-Wrap Angle on Small Pulley)/2))

Diameter of Small Pulley given Wrap Angle of Small Pulley

Go Diameter of Small Pulley = Diameter of Big Pulley-(2*Centre Distance between Pulleys*sin((3.14-Wrap Angle on Small Pulley)/2))

Diameter of Big Pulley given Wrap Angle of Small Pulley

Go Diameter of Big Pulley = Diameter of Small Pulley+(2*Centre Distance between Pulleys*sin((3.14-Wrap Angle on Small Pulley)/2))
