Variables Used

Total Tension in Tight Side - (Measured in Newton) - Total Tension in Tight Side is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt a given distance per inch of pulley.
Centrifugal Tension of Belt - (Measured in Newton) - Centrifugal Tension of Belt tends to stretch the belt outward, increasing the overall tension.
Total Tension in Slack Side - (Measured in Newton) - Total Tension in Slack Side is determined by measuring the force to deflect the belt a given distance per inch of pulley.
Coefficient of Friction For Belt - Coefficient of Friction For Belt 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) - Angle of Contact is the angle subtended by the belt on the pulley.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Centrifugal Tension of Belt: 12.51 Newton --> 12.51 Newton No Conversion Required
Total Tension in Slack Side: 23.51 Newton --> 23.51 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction For Belt: 0.2 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Contact: 3.4658 Radian --> 3.4658 Radian No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_t1 = T_c+(T_t2-T_c)*e^(μ*θ_c) --> 12.51+(23.51-12.51)*e^(0.2*3.4658)

Evaluating ... ...

T_t1 = 34.5102820294889

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

34.5102820294889 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

34.5102820294889 ≈ 34.51028 Newton <-- Total Tension in Tight Side

What is centrifugal tension?

The tension caused by centrifugal force or called centrifugal tension.at lower belt speeds (less than 10 m/s), the centrifugal tension is very small, but at higher belt speeds (more than 10 m/s), its effect is considerable and thus should be taken into account.

What is the effect of centrifugal tension in the belt?

This centrifugal force reduces the pressure between the belt and the rim of the pulleys, and thus, move the belt away from the pulley and reduce the wrap angle. Therefore, the belt tensions and power transmission also are reduced.

How to Calculate Tension on Tight Side given Centrifugal Tension and Tension on Slack Side?

Tension on Tight Side given Centrifugal Tension and Tension on Slack Side calculator uses Total Tension in Tight Side = Centrifugal Tension of Belt+(Total Tension in Slack Side-Centrifugal Tension of Belt)*e^(Coefficient of Friction For Belt*Angle of Contact) to calculate the Total Tension in Tight Side, Tension on Tight Side given Centrifugal Tension and Tension on Slack Side formula is defined as the measure of the force exerted on the tight side of a belt or rope in a pulley system, taking into account the centrifugal tension and the tension on the slack side, which is crucial in determining the overall mechanical efficiency.
