Maximum Tension of Belt Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Tension of Belt = Maximum Safe Stress*Belt Width*Belt Thickness
P_m = σ*b*t
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Tension of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Maximum Tension of Belt is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt at a given distance per inch of the pulley.
Maximum Safe Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Maximum Safe Stress is the maximum stress (tensile, compressive or bending) that is allowed to be applied on a structural material.
Belt Width - (Measured in Meter) - Belt Width is defined as the width of the belt which we generally use in belt drives.
Belt Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Belt Thickness is defined as the thickness of the belt that we use in the belt drives.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Safe Stress: 8.929 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 8929000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Belt Width: 0.028 Meter --> 0.028 Meter No Conversion Required
Belt Thickness: 0.003 Meter --> 0.003 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_m = σ*b*t --> 8929000*0.028*0.003

Evaluating ... ...

P_m = 750.036

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

750.036 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

750.036 Newton <-- Maximum Tension of Belt
