Tension in Tight Side for Band and Block Brake Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Tension in Tight Side of the Band = Tension in Band Between the First and Second Block*(1+Coefficient of Friction for Brake*sin(Angle of Contact/2))/(1-Coefficient of Friction for Brake*sin(Angle of Contact/2))
T₁ = T^'*(1+μ*sin(θ_c/2))/(1-μ*sin(θ_c/2))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Tension in Tight Side of the Band - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in tight side of the band is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain etc.
Tension in Band Between the First and Second Block - (Measured in Newton) - Tension in band between the first and second block is a pulling force that acts along the length of the band.
Coefficient of Friction for Brake - Coefficient of Friction for Brake is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of the brake pad in relation to the brake disc or drum in contact with it.
Angle of Contact - (Measured in Radian) - The angle of contact is the angle subtended by the belt on the pulley.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tension in Band Between the First and Second Block: 678.4 Newton --> 678.4 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction for Brake: 0.35 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Contact: 0.17 Radian --> 0.17 Radian No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T₁ = T^'*(1+μ*sin(θ_c/2))/(1-μ*sin(θ_c/2)) --> 678.4*(1+0.35*sin(0.17/2))/(1-0.35*sin(0.17/2))

Evaluating ... ...

T₁ = 719.950861768106

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

719.950861768106 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

719.950861768106 ≈ 719.9509 Newton <-- Tension in Tight Side of the Band
